Preguntas

El Canto del Loco's song 'Preguntas' delves into the emotional turmoil and confusion that arise from a strained relationship. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of the frustration and helplessness felt when communication breaks down and questions remain unanswered. The repeated use of the word 'preguntas' (questions) underscores the singer's desperate need for clarity and understanding in a relationship that seems to be falling apart.

The song opens with a plea for attention and understanding, highlighting the singer's sense of being unheard and misunderstood. The lines 'Mírame, no me da igual, Piénsalo, porque todo lo que digo, Sabes qué, nunca está bién' reflect a deep-seated frustration with the lack of effective communication. The singer feels that no matter what they say, it is never right, and this constant miscommunication is driving a wedge between them and their partner.

As the song progresses, the singer expresses a desire to break free from being treated as a 'juguete' (toy) that is carelessly stepped on. This metaphor vividly captures the feeling of being undervalued and disregarded. The repeated questioning and the sense of being ignored ('Y todo ha pasado sin que tu me hagas caso otra vez') amplify the emotional weight of the song. The singer's longing for the relationship to be mended and for life to regain its former joy is palpable in the lines 'La vida se pierde y yo quiero la vida otra vez.'

'Preguntas' is a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities of human relationships, particularly the pain of feeling unheard and the yearning for reconnection. The song's repetitive structure and haunting melody serve to emphasize the cyclical nature of these unresolved questions and the emotional toll they take on the individual.
