Desconocidos (feat. Asan)
Álvaro de Luna
The Bittersweet End of a Love Story
The song "Desconocidos" by Álvaro de Luna, featuring Asan, delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The lyrics express a sense of loss and the difficulty of moving on from someone who was once very close. The title itself, which translates to 'Strangers,' sets the tone for the song, highlighting the transformation of the relationship from intimacy to unfamiliarity.
The opening lines of the song reveal a lingering attachment to a past lover, despite physical distance. The singer reminisces about shared experiences in Madrid, suggesting that the relationship was once full of passion and excitement. However, the phrase 'jodimo' las flore' del jardín' metaphorically indicates that their actions ultimately damaged the beauty of what they had. The use of colloquial language and references to specific locations adds authenticity to the narrative, grounding it in real emotions and experiences.
As the song progresses, the lyrics explore the pain of pretending indifference when encountering an ex-lover. The metaphor of losing one's color and the mention of scars turning into healed wounds convey the healing process over time. The singer's resolve to move on is clear, despite the hurt caused by the relationship's end. The repeated chorus, 'Como desconocidos,' emphasizes the theme of estrangement and the irony of two people who shared so much becoming strangers to each other once again.
