He Sentido Amor
Histeria
The Unexpected Fall into Love
The song "He Sentido Amor" by Histeria captures the unexpected and transformative experience of falling in love for the first time. The lyrics convey a narrative of someone who was previously uninterested in romantic relationships, as indicated by the lines "Este corazón nunca hizo tun, tun / Este corazón no se enamoró." This suggests a heart that never skipped a beat for anyone and was not in love, highlighting a past of emotional detachment or perhaps a focus on casual relationships.
As the song progresses, the protagonist describes the overwhelming sensations that accompany newfound love. The physical reactions to the loved one's presence, such as losing reason when they approach or the desire to kiss them when they smile, illustrate the intensity of these feelings. The repetition of these lines throughout the song emphasizes the significant impact the loved one has on the protagonist's life. The chorus, with its simple yet profound declaration "He sentido amor / Por primera vez," captures the essence of this emotional awakening.
The song also touches on the confusion between infatuation and genuine love. The protagonist seeks confirmation, asking if their feelings are just an illusion or if it is indeed love. This uncertainty is a common theme in songs about love, reflecting the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty in distinguishing between temporary affection and deep, lasting love. The transformation from being 'just a friend' to someone who is in love also speaks to the unpredictability of love and how it can change relationships in unexpected ways.
