Te Hacen Sentir
Teenangels (Casi Ángeles)
Resilience and Love in 'Te Hacen Sentir' by Teenangels
The song 'Te Hacen Sentir' by Teenangels, a group formed from the popular Argentine TV series 'Casi Ángeles,' delves into themes of self-doubt, resilience, and the transformative power of love. The lyrics poignantly describe the emotional turmoil of feeling inadequate and worthless, as external forces repeatedly push the narrator into a metaphorical abyss. This sense of despair is palpable in lines like 'Te hacen sentir que no vales' (They make you feel like you're not worth it) and 'Te hacen caer en un abismo una y otra vez' (They make you fall into an abyss over and over again). These lines capture the cyclical nature of self-doubt and the struggle to find self-worth in a world that often seems intent on undermining it.
However, the song also offers a glimmer of hope and resilience. Despite the constant barrage of negativity, the narrator finds strength in love. The turning point comes with the lines 'Entonces te encuentro y te pierdo' (Then I find you and lose you) and 'Entonces me alegra tu luz' (Then your light makes me happy). Here, the presence of a significant other provides a beacon of light in the darkness, suggesting that love can be a powerful antidote to feelings of worthlessness and isolation. This love is described as a 'gran amor' (great love), emphasizing its importance and the profound impact it has on the narrator's emotional state.
Teenangels' musical style, characterized by its pop-rock influences and emotive lyrics, enhances the song's message. The group's connection to 'Casi Ángeles,' a show that often explored themes of adolescence, identity, and emotional growth, adds another layer of depth to the song. 'Te Hacen Sentir' resonates with anyone who has ever felt diminished by external pressures but has found solace and strength in love and connection. The song is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love in overcoming adversity.
