Bajo Control

Losing Control in the Name of Love
Guillem Roma's song "Bajo Control" delves into the emotional upheaval that comes with falling in love. The lyrics paint a picture of a life that was once calm and orderly, where the protagonist walked through life avoiding opportunities and living in a state of contentment and austerity. This tranquility is disrupted when they fall in love, leading to a loss of control and a profound emotional shift.
The repeated lines, "Pero ya no tengo más todo bajo control / Y perdí nomás en ti mi corazón," highlight the central theme of the song: the surrender of control and the vulnerability that comes with giving one's heart to someone else. The protagonist acknowledges that their previously stable world is now filled with mysteries they didn't want to know, and the peace they once had is now a thing of the past. This shift is both unsettling and exhilarating, as love brings a new, unpredictable dimension to their life.
The song also touches on the idea of losing one's reason or sanity in the throes of love, as expressed in the line, "Y tengo de más esta rara sensación / Que perdí además contigo la razón." This suggests that love has not only taken their heart but also their rationality, leaving them in a state of emotional chaos. Guillem Roma's soothing yet poignant delivery of these lyrics adds depth to the narrative, making "Bajo Control" a relatable exploration of the complexities of love and the inevitable loss of control that accompanies it.
