Herída

Angela Leiva's song 'Herída' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has fallen deeply in love in a very short time, only to realize that the relationship is doomed from the start. The protagonist is caught in a painful situation, having to see their beloved in secret, knowing that their love cannot flourish openly. This hidden love causes immense emotional pain, as the beloved eventually leaves for another, leaving the protagonist to grapple with their feelings alone.

The recurring theme of living life 'herida' (wounded) and 'soñando' (dreaming) underscores the protagonist's ongoing struggle. They are trapped in a cycle of pain and hope, dreaming of a future where their love could be reciprocated and they could be together forever. This duality of pain and hope is a common theme in many love songs, but Leiva's delivery adds a layer of raw emotion that makes the listener feel the depth of the protagonist's despair and longing.

Angela Leiva, known for her powerful voice and emotive performances, brings a sense of authenticity to 'Herída'. Her ability to convey deep emotional pain through her singing makes the song resonate with anyone who has experienced the heartache of unrequited love. The song also touches on the theme of self-deception, as the protagonist admits to lying to themselves about the possibility of a future with their beloved. This acknowledgment of self-deception adds a layer of complexity to the song, making it not just a lament of lost love, but also a reflection on the human tendency to cling to hope even in the face of inevitable heartbreak.
