el ingeniero (feat. Yorghaki)

In "el ingeniero (feat. Yorghaki)," Alleh delves into the complexities of emotional detachment and the struggle to reconnect with one's feelings. The song paints a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner has built an emotional fortress, symbolized by a "heart of steel," making it difficult for them to express vulnerability or love. The metaphor of an "engineer" constructing this heart suggests a deliberate effort to shield oneself from pain, yet the lyrics hint at an underlying desire to feel and connect again.

The recurring plea to "start from zero" reflects a longing to reset and rediscover genuine emotions. This desire is juxtaposed with the imagery of "hanging by a thread," indicating the fragility of the situation and the exhaustion from maintaining a facade of tranquility. The song captures the tension between wanting to break free from emotional constraints and the fear of vulnerability, as seen in the line "if you still fear the thunder, you can still feel something."

Alleh's collaboration with Yorghaki adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing the duality of fire and ice, passion and detachment. The song's emotional core lies in the yearning for authenticity and the struggle to overcome the barriers that prevent true connection. The lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own emotional defenses and the possibility of rebuilding relationships from a place of honesty and openness. Through its poignant metaphors and heartfelt delivery, "el ingeniero" resonates with anyone who has ever grappled with the complexities of love and emotional vulnerability.
