A Escondidas

Doble D LH's song 'A Escondidas' delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a clandestine love affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that must be kept hidden due to the presence of another partner. The protagonist acknowledges the transformative impact this secret love has had on his life, despite the inherent risks and moral dilemmas. The repeated phrase 'a escondidas' (in hiding) underscores the secrecy and the forbidden nature of their passion, which adds an element of danger and excitement to their connection.

The song explores the duality of emotions experienced in such a relationship. On one hand, there is the thrill and happiness that comes from being with the person they love. On the other hand, there is the constant fear of being discovered and the pain of not being able to fully express their love openly. The lyrics 'somos esclavos de la clandestinidad' (we are slaves to secrecy) highlight the constraints and limitations imposed by their situation. Despite these challenges, the protagonist dreams of a future where they can be together without fear, as expressed in the lines 'sueño casarme contigo' (I dream of marrying you).

The song also touches on the idea of escape and liberation from their 'prison' of secrecy. The repeated questioning 'Será que tú? Será que yo?' (Will it be you? Will it be me?) reflects their longing for a resolution and the hope that one day they can walk hand in hand without feeling like convicts of their own love. This yearning for freedom and acceptance is a central theme, making 'A Escondidas' a poignant exploration of love, secrecy, and the desire for a future unburdened by hidden truths.
