Amor Que Mata

Alvaro Torres' song 'Amor Que Mata' delves deep into the anguish and obsession that comes with unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love so intense that it consumes the narrator's every thought and dream. The opening lines, 'Tú te enredas en mis sueños, eres mi único pensamiento,' set the stage for a tale of longing and desire that is both beautiful and painful. This love is not just a fleeting emotion; it is a constant presence that the narrator cannot escape, as it infiltrates his dreams and waking moments alike.

The chorus, 'Amor que enloquece, que asfixia que duele, que hiere y desgarra el cuerpo y el alma,' captures the essence of this tormenting love. It is a love that drives the narrator to madness, suffocates him, and causes both physical and emotional pain. The use of strong, visceral language like 'hiere y desgarra' (wounds and tears apart) emphasizes the destructive nature of this unfulfilled desire. The repeated phrase 'amor que mata' (love that kills) underscores the lethal impact of this unattainable love on the narrator's well-being.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation and hopelessness. The narrator is obsessed with the object of his affection, willing to give anything to make her his own. Lines like 'por hacerte un poco mía, por tenerte no se que daría' highlight the lengths he would go to just to experience a moment of reciprocated love. However, despite his intense feelings and efforts, he remains tormented by the fact that he cannot have her, leading to a cycle of longing and despair. This song poignantly captures the agony of loving someone deeply and passionately, yet being unable to be with them.
