Dobles

The song 'Dobles' by IZAL delves into the concept of duality in life and love, exploring how experiences and emotions can be amplified when shared with another person. The lyrics speak of receiving 'the double' of various elements, such as colors, promises, and intangible treasures, suggesting that life becomes richer and more vibrant when shared. This doubling effect is not just about quantity but also about the quality of experiences, as seen in the lines about dilated pupils and shining dark circles, indicating heightened emotions and deeper connections.

The song also touches on themes of transformation and celebration. The idea of 'multiplication' and 'miracle for non-believers' hints at the almost magical change that occurs when two lives intertwine. The references to sweet wine and rum, and celebrations on significant dates like 'martes y trece' (Tuesday the 13th) and 'treinta y unos de diciembre' (New Year's Eve), emphasize the joy and festivity that come with this union. These moments of celebration are not just about external festivities but also about internal transformations, as the narrator feels they 'breathe double' and 'wake up on kinder grounds,' indicating a profound personal change.

Furthermore, the song explores the idea of shared identity and mutual influence. The repeated phrase 'Somos dobles' (We are doubles) underscores the notion that the individuals in the relationship mirror each other's habits, virtues, and even flaws. The references to 'Sanchos y Quijotes' evoke the famous literary duo from 'Don Quixote,' symbolizing the balance between idealism and pragmatism in a relationship. The song suggests that through this doubling, individuals become 'improved photocopies,' blending their unique qualities to create something greater than the sum of their parts.
