es mejor

The song 'es mejor' by Atrévete a Soñar delves into the complex emotions that arise when the lines between friendship and romantic love become blurred. The lyrics express the internal struggle of the protagonist, who feels a mix of confusion and excitement about their feelings towards someone they consider a friend. The opening lines reveal a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, as the protagonist admits to feeling 'rara' (strange) around this person and questions whether these feelings are reciprocated.

The chorus emphasizes the dilemma of whether to confront these feelings or to leave them unspoken. The phrase 'es mejor quedar con la duda' (it's better to remain in doubt) suggests that sometimes it's easier to live with uncertainty than to face potential rejection or the complications that might arise from expressing these emotions. The metaphor of being spun around like a 'ula-ula' (hula hoop) captures the dizzying and confusing nature of these mixed signals, while the word 'endulzas' (you sweeten) highlights the allure and charm of the person in question.

As the song progresses, the protagonist acknowledges the difficulty of distinguishing between love and friendship. The repeated lines 'confundiendo si es amor o amistad' (confusing if it's love or friendship) underscore the central theme of the song. This confusion is a relatable experience for many, especially in the context of young love and the intense emotions that come with it. The song captures the bittersweet reality of navigating these feelings, ultimately leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved tension and the recognition that some questions might be better left unanswered.
