hemofilia

In 'Hemofilia,' Delfina Campos crafts a poignant narrative about vulnerability and isolation. The song's title, which translates to 'Hemophilia,' metaphorically represents the protagonist's emotional fragility. Hemophilia is a medical condition where the blood doesn't clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding from even minor injuries. Similarly, the protagonist feels emotionally fragile, easily hurt by the slightest interactions, as highlighted in the line, 'Con rozarme ya me lastimás' ('With just a touch, you hurt me')

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has built walls around themselves, becoming an 'expert in putting everyone on the sidelines.' This self-imposed isolation is a defense mechanism to avoid further emotional pain. The recurring imagery of midnight and watching others dance while feeling detached underscores a sense of loneliness and alienation. The protagonist is the 'queen of solitude,' a title that signifies both a mastery of being alone and the heavy burden it carries.

Campos also explores the paradox of seeking connection while fearing it. The protagonist asks for 'guarantees that you can't give me,' indicating a desire for certainty and safety in relationships that is ultimately unattainable. This internal conflict leads to a cycle of distancing oneself even as they advance, encapsulated in the line, 'Me voy alejando a medida que avanzo' ('I move away as I advance'). The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with vulnerability and the human need for connection despite the risks involved.
