Ojos Cerrados (feat. Carin Leon)

The song 'Ojos Cerrados' by Banda MS de Sergio Lizárraga, featuring Carin Leon, is a poignant narrative of love, heartbreak, and the vulnerability that comes with giving oneself fully to another person. The lyrics speak to the experience of someone who had resolved to be more cautious with their heart, only to find themselves unexpectedly and deeply in love. The metaphor of intoxication is used to describe the irresistible pull of new love, likening the act of holding someone's hand or kissing their lips to the inability to resist the allure of alcohol.

The song's chorus highlights the pain of broken promises and the cost of love. The protagonist speaks of being promised love and everything that comes with it, but the promises were left without a timeline, leading to disappointment. The act of kissing, which should have been a simple expression of affection, is described as having a high price, suggesting that the emotional investment led to a significant heartache. The phrase 'El dolor me abrió los ojos' (The pain opened my eyes) signifies a moment of realization and awakening, where the protagonist acknowledges the love they had, even when they were metaphorically blind to the potential for pain.

Banda MS de Sergio Lizárraga is known for their regional Mexican music, often featuring themes of love, loss, and everyday life experiences. The inclusion of Carin Leon adds depth to the song, as both artists are able to convey the emotional weight of the lyrics through their passionate vocal performances. The song resonates with anyone who has ever loved 'con los ojos cerrados' (with closed eyes), only to be hurt when reality fails to match their expectations.
