Obsesión

The song "Obsesión" by Horóscopos de Durango delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the fine line it treads with obsession. The lyrics tell the story of someone who is deeply infatuated with another person to the point of experiencing insomnia and restlessness. The protagonist is so consumed by thoughts of their beloved's beauty that they cannot find peace until their affection is reciprocated.

The narrative progresses as the protagonist meets the object of their affection's boyfriend, who they deem unworthy. They believe the boyfriend does not truly love or satisfy their beloved and that they themselves would be a better partner. Despite this, the protagonist decides to wait patiently, confident that they are not in direct competition. The chorus emphasizes that what the protagonist feels is not love but an obsession, an illusion in their mind that compels them to act irrationally.

The song also touches on the lengths to which the protagonist goes to win over their beloved, from driving by their school to trying to contact them through various means. The obsession is further highlighted by the protagonist's manipulation of the beloved's friend to obtain their contact information. The repeated chorus serves as a reminder that such intense feelings can cloud judgment and lead to unhealthy behavior, distinguishing obsession from genuine love.
