Apaga La Luz

Cabas' song 'Apaga La Luz' is a passionate and intimate exploration of a clandestine romance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers who are irresistibly drawn to each other, unable to hide their desire. The opening lines, 'No sabemos que hacer con todas estas ganas que nos tenemos tu y yo,' set the stage for a narrative where the protagonists are overwhelmed by their mutual attraction. This intense connection is likened to nocturnal birds seeking each other in the dark, emphasizing the secrecy and thrill of their encounters.

The recurring phrase 'Apaga la luz' (turn off the light) serves as both a literal and metaphorical call to embrace the darkness, where they can explore each other without inhibition. The darkness becomes a sanctuary for their senses, allowing them to 'recorrerte con las yemas de mis dedos' (explore you with the tips of my fingers) and 'a sorbos probar tus secretos' (sip your secrets). This imagery suggests a deep, almost ritualistic intimacy, where touch and taste are the primary means of connection.

The song also touches on the transient nature of their relationship. The lines 'Cero remordimientos tenemos y sales en la mañana, me dices ya vuelvo' highlight a carefree attitude, devoid of guilt or regret. The lovers part ways in the morning, only to reunite and continue their passionate affair. The act of drawing golden dragonflies on the bathroom mirror with her lipstick adds a whimsical, almost poetic touch to their fleeting moments together. This blend of sensuality and ephemeral beauty captures the essence of their secretive love, making 'Apaga La Luz' a compelling ode to forbidden passion.
