Peligro

Ely Guerra's song 'Peligro' delves into the complex emotions that come with new beginnings and the intoxicating allure of fresh experiences. The lyrics open with the imagery of 'new eyes,' 'new skin,' and 'new hands of pleasure,' suggesting a rebirth or transformation. This transformation is not just physical but emotional, as these new elements begin to dominate the singer's desires and wants. The repetition of 'mi querer' emphasizes the deep impact these changes have on her inner world.

The song then introduces the metaphor of a flower growing over a wound left by sadness and unwanted emptiness. This flower symbolizes healing and new growth, flourishing despite past pain. The 'marea de mi piel' or 'tide of my skin' further illustrates the ebb and flow of emotions, as the singer navigates through the highs and lows of her experiences. The imagery of the flower and the tide together create a vivid picture of resilience and the beauty that can emerge from hardship.

As the song progresses, the singer imagines the touch and caresses of a new lover, asking them to stay and take a chance on this new adventure. The 'éxtasis de un beso imaginario' or 'ecstasy of an imaginary kiss' represents the peak of her longing and the hope that her past tragedies will remain in the past. The repeated plea for the lover to 'quédate' or 'stay' underscores her desire for permanence in this new, intense connection. Ely Guerra's 'Peligro' captures the delicate balance between the excitement of new love and the lingering shadows of past pain, making it a poignant exploration of human vulnerability and resilience.
