Prefiero

Ha*Ash's song 'Prefiero' delves into the emotional turmoil that arises when distance and misunderstanding threaten a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love strained by separation and the longing for communication and understanding. The opening lines, 'Cuando el cielo se cerró y la confusión llovió,' set a somber tone, suggesting a period of darkness and confusion. This imagery of a closed sky and rain of confusion symbolizes the emotional barriers and misunderstandings that have clouded the relationship.

The chorus, 'Prefiero entenderte a verte escapar, quédate en mi camino,' reveals the singer's deep desire to bridge the gap and reconnect. The repetition of 'prefiero' (I prefer) underscores the urgency and importance of understanding and communication over the pain of separation. The plea for the partner to stay and talk highlights the value of dialogue in resolving conflicts and maintaining emotional closeness. The lines 'Es difícil de creer que tu escudo sea la distancia y una palabra esté de más' further emphasize the frustration of feeling shut out and the longing for a meaningful conversation.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of eyes and vision, such as 'Tus ojos en los que viví se diluyen a través del viento.' This metaphor of eyes dissolving in the wind suggests a fading connection and the fear of being forgotten. The song's emotional climax is reached with the lines 'Si el eco de mi voz logra alcanzarte, ábrele el corazón que sobre todo prefiero amarte,' which express a hopeful yet desperate call for the partner to open their heart and reconnect. 'Prefiero' is a poignant exploration of the struggle to maintain love and understanding in the face of distance and miscommunication.
