Autodiagnóstico

Camilo's song "Autodiagnóstico" is a playful yet poignant exploration of the feelings of longing and love. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has visited the doctor multiple times, only to be told that they are in perfect health. However, the protagonist feels that the doctor is missing something crucial – the emotional ailment of missing someone dearly. The song uses medical metaphors to describe the symptoms of love and heartache, suggesting that the singer has 'self-diagnosed' themselves with a unique condition that stems from being apart from a loved one.

The chorus of the song humorously lists fictitious medical conditions such as a strange problem ('tú estás lejos y te extraño' – 'you are far away and I miss you') and a rare bacteria ('no puedo olvidar tu cara' – 'I can't forget your face'). These creative descriptions serve as metaphors for the intense emotions that the singer is experiencing. The fear of confessing love and not hearing 'I love you too' in return is likened to an illness that the singer cannot understand. This vulnerability is a common human experience, making the song relatable to anyone who has ever been in love.

Camilo's approach to the theme of unrequited or uncertain love is both humorous and heartfelt. The song suggests that some emotional conditions, like being 'sick with love,' are not meant to be cured. Instead, they are to be embraced as part of the human experience. The singer concludes that they have resigned themselves to their condition, preferring to remain 'ill' with love rather than lose the feeling altogether. This sentiment reflects the idea that the pain of love is sometimes worth enduring for the joy that it brings.
