Descripción

El Otro Yo's song 'Descripción' delves into the complexities of love and the emotional turbulence that accompanies it. The lyrics open with a metaphor comparing life to flying without wings, suggesting a sense of struggle and the pursuit of the unattainable. This imagery sets the tone for the song, highlighting the challenges and frustrations inherent in human existence and relationships. The line 'es tratar de vencer algo imposible de vencer' underscores the futility the narrator feels in trying to overcome these obstacles, particularly in the context of love.

The song then shifts to a more personal narrative, where the narrator expresses the difficulty of being honest and open in a relationship. The repeated attempts to 'desnudarte' or 'undress' emotionally are met with lies, creating a cycle of mistrust and disappointment. This emotional nakedness is a metaphor for vulnerability and the desire for genuine connection, which is continually thwarted. The narrator's frustration is palpable, as they cannot 'sacarlo de mi cabeza,' indicating an obsessive preoccupation with these unresolved feelings.

In the final verses, the imagery of flowers in the narrator's hands symbolizes the various possibilities and choices in love. However, the 'flor que es de un campo azul' stands out as unique and irreplaceable, representing the person they truly desire. The realization that 'te quiero solamente a vos' signifies a moment of clarity and commitment, despite the previous struggles and doubts. This poignant conclusion reflects the universal experience of sifting through confusion and heartache to find true affection and connection.
