Me gusta

DTF's song 'Me gusta' delves into the complexities and dualities of life, capturing the tension between hope and despair, love and hate, and success and failure. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life lived on the edge, where every decision feels like it's just 'à deux pas' (two steps) away from a drastically different outcome. This phrase, repeated throughout the song, underscores the precariousness of the narrator's existence, as they navigate through various emotional and existential challenges.

The song's verses are rich with metaphors and cultural references. For instance, the line 'À deux pas de l'arène, j'sors mon monstre un peu comme Eren' references Eren Yeager from the anime 'Attack on Titan,' symbolizing the unleashing of inner demons and the struggle for survival. The narrator's life is depicted as a constant battle, where they are 'à deux pas' from both triumph and disaster. The mention of 'la honda' and 'vendetta' adds a layer of street credibility and a sense of loyalty to one's roots, despite the hardships faced.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'Me gusta la mañana, me gustas tú,' juxtaposes the harsh realities of life ('la desgracia me pega,' 'la mala suerte me pega') with a simple, almost childlike affection for the morning and a loved one. This contrast highlights the dual nature of the narrator's experiences—finding moments of beauty and love amidst the chaos and misfortune. The song ultimately reflects a resilient spirit, one that continues to find joy and meaning even when life seems overwhelmingly difficult.
