Como quieres
Andy & Lucas
The Pain of Distance and Unforgettable Love
Andy & Lucas's song "Como quieres" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a long-distance relationship. The lyrics poignantly express the pain and longing that come with being separated from a loved one. The repeated phrase "Me duele" (It hurts me) underscores the constant ache the narrator feels due to the physical and emotional distance from their partner. This pain is exacerbated by the fear of being forgotten or replaced, as the narrator imagines scenarios where their partner might meet someone new or grow tired of waiting.
The song also highlights the power of memories and the emotional weight they carry. The narrator reminisces about past moments shared with their partner, such as nights spent together and the first declaration of love. These memories serve as both a source of comfort and pain, as they remind the narrator of what they are missing. The repeated questioning of "Cómo quieres que la olvide" (How do you want me to forget her) emphasizes the impossibility of moving on from such a deep and meaningful connection.
Furthermore, the song touches on the uncertainty of the future and the fear it brings. The narrator is anxious about what lies ahead and whether their relationship can withstand the test of time and distance. This uncertainty is encapsulated in the line "Si ahora el futuro es el que juega" (If now the future is the one that plays), suggesting that the future is unpredictable and out of their control. The song beautifully captures the essence of love, longing, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship across distances.
