Lo Noto

In 'Lo Noto,' Cariño (ES) delves into the complexities and emotional turbulence of relationships. The song's protagonist grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the fear of making mistakes, which is evident from the opening lines where they admit to hiding and feeling sad about potentially ruining things. This sense of vulnerability is a recurring theme, as the protagonist oscillates between wanting to fix things and feeling overwhelmed by their own imperfections.

The lyrics reveal a deep-seated frustration and exhaustion with the cyclical nature of their relationship issues. The protagonist acknowledges their own flaws, such as being late, not smiling, and failing to communicate effectively. Despite these shortcomings, there is a persistent hope for reconciliation and a willingness to start over, as highlighted in the repeated lines, 'Que la respuesta es volver a empezar' (The answer is to start over). This suggests a desire for mutual understanding and a fresh beginning, provided both parties are willing to make the effort.

Cariño's musical style, characterized by its blend of indie pop and heartfelt lyrics, adds an extra layer of relatability to the song. The candidness with which the protagonist expresses their emotions, from feeling 'insoportable' (unbearable) to being 'agotada' (exhausted), resonates with anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of a challenging relationship. The song ultimately captures the delicate balance between self-awareness and the hope for a better future together, making it a poignant reflection on love and personal growth.
