Mi Secreto

Carla Morrison's song 'Mi Secreto' delves into the emotional turmoil of harboring a secret love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the internal conflict experienced by someone who is deeply in love but feels compelled to keep their feelings hidden. The secrecy is described as almost sinful, indicating the intensity and seriousness of the emotions involved. The protagonist struggles with sleepless nights and a pervasive sense of unease, as the love they feel spreads through their entire being, making it difficult to contain.

In the presence of the person they love, the protagonist puts on a facade, pretending that everything is normal. This act of concealment is described as a 'calvario,' or a calvary, suggesting that it is a form of suffering and sacrifice. The weight of the unspoken love is heavy on their chest, growing stronger despite their efforts to hide it. The protagonist's desire to distance themselves from the object of their affection is a desperate attempt to escape the painful reality, even though their soul protests against it. They hope that this torment is temporary and try to erase their feelings by closing their eyes and mind.

However, the more they try to avoid their feelings, the more they encounter them. The love is likened to an addiction, a process that is both beautiful and tormenting. The song captures the paradox of loving someone so intensely while simultaneously wishing to rid oneself of that love. The protagonist's internal battle is a poignant reflection of the complexities of unrequited love and the lengths to which one might go to protect their heart, even if it means enduring a personal hell.
