The Bittersweet Reality of Lost Love in 'Lo Que Son Las Cosas'

Eddie Santiago's song 'Lo Que Son Las Cosas' delves into the poignant and often painful emotions associated with lost love and the longing for reconciliation. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of regret and sorrow from both parties involved. The protagonist acknowledges that their former lover is unhappy in their new relationship and is contemplating a return. This realization brings to light the universal truth that sometimes, despite our best efforts, new relationships may not fulfill us as much as past ones did.

The song is rich with metaphors and emotional depth. Phrases like 'Esta vida sin ti no es nada' (This life without you is nothing) and 'Es desesperada equivocada sin tu amor' (It's desperate, mistaken without your love) highlight the protagonist's profound sense of emptiness and despair in the absence of their loved one. The repetition of these lines underscores the intensity of their feelings and the void left by the separation. The use of 'lo que son las cosas' (what things are) serves as a resigned acknowledgment of the unpredictable and often cruel nature of life and love.

Eddie Santiago, known for his contributions to the salsa genre, infuses the song with a rhythmic yet melancholic tone that complements the lyrical content. His vocal delivery adds an extra layer of emotion, making the listener feel the weight of the protagonist's heartache. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the hope for a second chance, making it a timeless piece in Santiago's repertoire.
