Ella Lo Sabe

Expulsados' song 'Ella Lo Sabe' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the painful self-awareness that accompanies it. The lyrics express a sense of longing and frustration, as the narrator reflects on their unfulfilled desires and the realization that their love will never be reciprocated. The opening lines, 'Yo ya no se cuanto esperar, siempre esperé y nunca tuve nada de lo que quise,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the narrator's endless waiting and the futility of their hopes.

The metaphor of a 'castillo de cristal' (crystal castle) symbolizes the unattainable nature of the beloved. The narrator acknowledges their inability to penetrate this fortress, stating, 'yo nunca voy a entrar, yo no podría entrar.' This imagery underscores the distance and inaccessibility of the object of their affection, further emphasizing the theme of unrequited love. The narrator's admission of their shortcomings, 'No tengo nada para dar ni te puedo hacer reir como quisiera yo,' reveals a deep sense of inadequacy and self-doubt.

As the song progresses, the narrator comes to a painful realization: 'Quiero que pienses solo en mi pero yo se que no es asi como funciona todo, ahora entiendo todo.' This line captures the moment of clarity when the narrator understands that their desires are unrealistic and that the world does not revolve around their wishes. The concluding phrase, 'Ella lo sabe,' suggests that the beloved is aware of the narrator's feelings and the futility of their love, adding a layer of poignancy to the song's narrative.
