Lejos

In 'Lejos,' Dulce María delves into the emotional turmoil of a love that continues to haunt her despite the physical distance. The song opens with the singer reflecting on lost time and the solitude that has enveloped her since the relationship ended. The repetition of 'en soledad escondida' (in hidden solitude) underscores the depth of her loneliness and the hidden pain she endures. This sets the stage for a narrative filled with longing and unresolved emotions.

The lyrics poignantly capture the paradox of feeling close to someone who is physically far away. Dulce María sings about the 'palabras suspendidas en el viento' (words suspended in the wind) and 'caricias reprimidas' (repressed caresses), highlighting the unspoken words and unfulfilled gestures that linger in her mind. These metaphors effectively convey the sense of unfinished business and emotional baggage that she carries. The recurring line 'me has hecho daño, lo sé' (you've hurt me, I know) reveals her awareness of the pain inflicted by her former lover, yet she admits her inability to forget them, illustrating the complexity of her feelings.

The chorus further explores this emotional conflict, questioning the purpose of rekindling a relationship that only leads to more heartache. The lines 'me quieres tener otra vez, asegurarte de mi amor, ¿para qué?' (you want to have me again, to be sure of my love, for what?) reflect her skepticism and the cyclical nature of their relationship. Despite the hurt, there is a sense of inevitability in her words, as if she is resigned to the fact that this pattern will continue. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics make it a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the difficulty of moving on.
