Estas Perdido

Fabiana Cantilo's song 'Estas Perdido' delves into the complexities of a love that has gone astray. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has diverged onto different paths, leaving one half of the heart uncontrollable and lost. The 'part oculta de los dos' (the hidden part of both) and the 'noche que está matando al día' (the night killing the day) symbolize the dark, unspoken aspects of the relationship that overshadow the brighter moments. This imagery sets the tone for a narrative of emotional struggle and realization.

The song continues to explore themes of destiny and solitude. Cantilo questions whether there is a reason guiding her fate as she finds herself alone, contemplating the storm of emotions she faces. The line 'Ya casi llego a convencerme, que hay un duelo que hoy termina' (I almost convince myself that a duel ends today) suggests a turning point, a moment of acceptance that the emotional battle might be concluding. This introspection highlights the internal conflict and the journey towards self-awareness and closure.

In the chorus, Cantilo expresses a desire to avoid getting lost in unattainable dreams and the futility of hiding the truth. The plea 'No juegues al ángel caído' (Don't play the fallen angel) indicates a recognition of the other person's flaws and the realization that they are irretrievably lost to her. Reflecting on the past, she acknowledges the initial magic of their first encounter, which has since faded. The repetition of 'ya estás perdido' (you are already lost) underscores the finality of her decision to move on, despite the lingering memories. This song captures the essence of coming to terms with a lost love and the emotional resilience required to move forward.
