Quimica

Banda de Turistas' song 'Quimica' delves into the intoxicating and often inexplicable nature of romantic attraction. The lyrics explore the overwhelming feelings that arise when two people share a unique and undeniable connection. The repeated emphasis on 'química' (chemistry) underscores the idea that this bond is something almost scientific, beyond the realm of simple explanation or logic.

The song opens with a sense of uncertainty and caution, as the narrator acknowledges the unpredictability of their relationship. The line 'Guarda tu último cartucho' (Save your last cartridge) suggests a need for preparedness in case things go awry. This metaphor hints at the fragility of their connection, yet the narrator is willing to take the risk because of the powerful chemistry they share.

As the song progresses, the lyrics highlight the transformative effect this chemistry has on the narrator. The imagery of the air becoming slow and the sun causing a dizzying, maddening effect illustrates how deeply the narrator is affected by their partner. The repeated refrain 'Hay química entre los dos' (There is chemistry between us) serves as both a declaration and a reassurance of the bond they share, despite any external misunderstandings or internal doubts.

The song's bridge intensifies the emotional turmoil, with the narrator expressing a sense of disorientation and desperation. The lines 'No puedo más' (I can't take it anymore) and 'El piso se mueve' (The floor moves) convey a feeling of being overwhelmed by the intensity of their emotions. Yet, even in this state of confusion, the narrator remains certain of the chemistry that binds them together, suggesting that this connection is both their anchor and their source of chaos.
