Perfecto Es Incompleto
Antonio Orozco
The Beauty of Imperfection: A Journey Through Incompleteness
Antonio Orozco's song "Perfecto Es Incompleto" delves into the profound emotions of love, loss, and the inherent imperfections that define human experiences. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the incompleteness felt in the absence of a loved one. Orozco begins by highlighting the spontaneity of first kisses and the unfinished nature of songs, symbolizing how moments of love often arrive unexpectedly and leave a lasting impact. This sense of incompleteness is a recurring theme, as he expresses feeling incomplete every day he is not with his beloved, emphasizing the void left by their absence.
The song also explores the concept of distance and truth in relationships. Orozco suggests that distance cannot be measured in days, nor can love be built on lies. He acknowledges that truths are costly, often taking a significant part of one's life to express, and equates his life to a simple "I love you." The memories of his loved one, though incomplete, fill him with life, yet he remains incomplete without them. This duality of feeling both filled and empty underscores the complexity of human emotions and relationships.
Orozco further critiques societal norms and the media, pointing out how rumors and news are often half-truths, driven by money and sensationalism. This societal incompleteness mirrors his personal feelings of being sold lies and filled with anger. The refrain "perfecto es incompleto" (perfect is incomplete) encapsulates the song's central message: true perfection lies in embracing our imperfections and the incomplete nature of our lives. By accepting that completeness is an illusion, Orozco finds a deeper, more authentic sense of self and love.
