Simples Cosas

Dread Mar I's song 'Simples Cosas' delves into the complexities and emotional turbulence of love and heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has gone through the highs of mutual affection and the lows of separation and emotional detachment. The song begins with the protagonist reminiscing about the times when their partner professed love repeatedly, only to leave them in a state of confusion and emotional turmoil. The imagery of a soul burning in fire symbolizes the intense pain and longing experienced by the protagonist, while the partner's hardened heart signifies emotional withdrawal and silence.

As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to a moment of potential reconciliation. The partner returns, seeking to rekindle the relationship, but the protagonist's heart has also hardened. This change reflects the emotional scars left by the initial abandonment. The protagonist's heart no longer responds with the same warmth and openness as before, indicating a protective mechanism against further hurt. The repetition of the desire to hear the partner's 'dulce voz' (sweet voice) underscores the lingering attachment and the difficulty of moving on completely.

In the final verse, the protagonist reflects on the nature of love and its inherent challenges. They acknowledge the initial belief that enduring the pain of lost love would be easy, only to realize that love's departure and return are part of its unpredictable nature. The phrase 'simples cosas del amor' (simple things of love) encapsulates the essence of the song, suggesting that these emotional experiences, though painful, are fundamental aspects of love. Dread Mar I's reggae-influenced style adds a soothing yet poignant backdrop to the heartfelt lyrics, enhancing the song's emotional depth and relatability.
