MR HYDE

Belén Aguilera's song 'MR HYDE' delves into the complex theme of duality within oneself, drawing inspiration from the classic literary characters Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The lyrics reflect a struggle with an internal conflict, where the singer grapples with two opposing sides of her personality. This duality is evident in lines like 'Soy Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde' and 'Dos caras hay,' which translate to 'I am Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' and 'There are two faces,' respectively. The song captures the essence of feeling torn between being a 'good girl' who obeys and a darker, more rebellious side that emerges unexpectedly.

The lyrics also touch on themes of self-punishment and isolation. Aguilera sings about being her own worst enemy and feeling unsupported during difficult times, as seen in the lines 'Cuando tenía frío nadie abriga' ('When I was cold, no one covered me') and 'Yo siempre he sido mi peor enemiga' ('I have always been my worst enemy'). This self-inflicted punishment and lack of external support contribute to the internal conflict, making it harder for her to reconcile the two sides of her personality.

Additionally, the song explores the idea of subconscious influences and the uncontrollable nature of certain behaviors. Aguilera mentions a part of herself that hides in the subconscious and emerges unexpectedly, leading to actions she cannot explain or control. This is highlighted in the lines 'Hay una parte de mí que se esconde en el subconsciente' ('There is a part of me that hides in the subconscious') and 'Despierto ensangrentada juro que es un accidente' ('I wake up bloodied, I swear it's an accident'). The reference to the 'Black Swan' and the idea that knowing good comes from having done bad further emphasize the complexity of human nature and the struggle to maintain a balance between opposing forces within oneself.
