Como Tú

Jaguares' song 'Como Tú' delves into the complex and often contradictory nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an 'alma herida' (wounded soul) that permeates every life it touches. This soul is resilient, refusing to bend or break despite its suffering. The imagery of a soul contemplating itself in the 'espejos de la carne' (mirrors of the flesh) suggests a deep introspection and a struggle with physical and emotional pain. The repetition of 'Así como tú' (Just like you) emphasizes the duality of love—its power to both give and take life.

The song further explores this duality by describing a soul that has been 'preñada' (impregnated) and deceived by dreams. This soul is in search of a place to hide its mortal wound, waiting to see the object of its love 'hincado y desangrado' (kneeling and bleeding). This stark imagery underscores the destructive potential of love, portraying it as something that can inflict deep emotional wounds. The line 'amor que quitas la vida' (love that takes life) contrasts sharply with 'amor que das la vida' (love that gives life), highlighting the paradoxical nature of love as both a source of immense joy and profound sorrow.

The song also touches on the ease with which one can be hurt in love, noting that even in the final moments, one may resist being loved. The phrase 'amor roto' (broken love) encapsulates the fragility and vulnerability inherent in romantic relationships. The repeated refrain serves as a poignant reminder of love's dual capacity to heal and to harm, making 'Como Tú' a deeply emotional and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
