Navigating Heartbreak and Vulnerability in 'Corriendo El Riesgo'
In 'Corriendo El Riesgo,' Flemita delves into the emotional turmoil of unreciprocated love and the vulnerability that comes with it. The song opens with a sense of disappointment and abandonment, as the narrator laments being let down once again. The repeated experience of being left without a proper goodbye and the fleeting nature of a kiss that will be forgotten by the next day highlights the transient and uncommitted nature of the relationship. This sets a melancholic tone, emphasizing the narrator's feelings of insignificance and longing for something more meaningful.
The lyrics then shift to a contemplation of time and memory. The narrator acknowledges that time will pass and the other person may not even remember them, underscoring the unfairness of the situation. This reflection on the passage of time and the potential erasure of their presence from the other person's memory adds a layer of existential sadness. It speaks to the universal fear of being forgotten and the desire for lasting impact in someone's life.
In the final verse, the narrator expresses a desire to communicate their feelings, despite the difficulty and risk involved. The phrase 'me jugaria yo por vos, corriendo el riesgo de perder' translates to 'I would bet on you, running the risk of losing,' encapsulating the essence of the song. It highlights the courage it takes to be vulnerable and the willingness to face potential heartbreak for the chance of genuine connection. This sentiment resonates deeply, as it reflects the human condition of seeking love and acceptance, even when faced with the possibility of pain and rejection.
