Cardio

Miguel Bosé's song 'Cardio' delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships, using the metaphor of the heart's rhythm to explore themes of love, hate, and the fluidity of human connections. The repeated phrase 'No llamemos odio a la arritmia de lo cardio' (Let's not call hate the arrhythmia of the heart) suggests that what we often perceive as negative emotions might just be natural fluctuations in our emotional state, influenced by time and place. This line challenges the listener to reconsider their understanding of hate and love, proposing that these emotions are not always as clear-cut as they seem.

The song also touches on the idea of possession and ownership in relationships. Lines like 'Nada es tuyo si es mío, nada mío que no sea tuyo' (Nothing is yours if it's mine, nothing mine that isn't yours) highlight the interconnectedness of human experiences and the futility of trying to claim ownership over another person's feelings or actions. Bosé uses this to emphasize the importance of mutual respect and understanding in relationships, suggesting that true connection comes from recognizing and honoring each other's individuality.

Additionally, Bosé incorporates a sense of philosophical and almost scientific precision with phrases like 'Cada tono en su lugar como en matemusifísica' (Each tone in its place like in math-physics-music). This line underscores the idea that everything in life, including emotions and relationships, has its own order and logic, even if it isn't immediately apparent. By blending these elements, Bosé creates a rich tapestry of meaning that encourages listeners to reflect on their own emotional landscapes and the rhythms that govern their hearts.
