Por Quererte

Efecto Mariposa's song 'Por Quererte' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a one-sided and unfulfilling relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has given their all to a partner, only to find themselves lost and alone. The opening lines, 'Por creer, Por confiarme, Por seguirte voy sin dirección,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the blind trust and directionless path the protagonist has taken in their pursuit of love. This journey, however, leads to a painful realization that their love is not reciprocated, as the path 'se parte en dos,' or splits in two.

The chorus reveals the core of the protagonist's anguish: 'Siento que nunca te he conocido, Lo extraño es que vuelvo a caer.' Despite the repeated heartbreak, they find themselves falling back into the same pattern, unable to break free from the cycle of pain. The lyrics 'Me duele estar sola, me duele contigo' encapsulate the paradox of their situation – they are hurt both by being alone and by being with their partner. This duality of pain underscores the depth of their emotional struggle.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on the sacrifices they've made for the relationship. 'Por tenerte, Por querer quererte, Dejé de lado todo lo que sentía,' they lament, acknowledging that in their quest to love and be loved, they've lost touch with their own feelings and identity. The repeated line 'No se quién soy' emphasizes this loss of self, as they grapple with the realization that their partner's love has only brought them loneliness. The song's poignant lyrics and melancholic melody capture the essence of heartache and the painful journey of self-discovery that often accompanies unrequited love.
