Garabatos

Jay Wheeler's song 'Garabatos' delves into the complexities and uncertainties of love and relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply captivated by someone, to the point where they question their own reality. The repeated phrase 'dibujando garabatos' (drawing scribbles) serves as a metaphor for the confusion and mixed emotions that come with falling in love. The protagonist is unsure whether their feelings are genuine or just a figment of their imagination, symbolized by the scribbles that lack clear definition.

The song opens with the protagonist marveling at the power of their love interest's presence, which has the ability to erase past pains and failures. This person has brought a sense of hope and renewal, making the protagonist question their previous experiences and emotions. The lyrics 'me enseñaste que un momento puede borrar hasta el peor de los recuerdos' (you taught me that a moment can erase even the worst memories) highlight the transformative power of love. However, this newfound hope is tinged with uncertainty, as the protagonist wonders if their feelings are real or just a product of their imagination.

Throughout the song, Jay Wheeler explores the theme of vulnerability in love. The protagonist admits to having lost much in the 'game of love' and is hesitant to fully commit, fearing further heartbreak. The lines 'no sé si quedarme contigo hasta la mañana o si es solo mi imaginación la que me gana' (I don't know if I should stay with you until the morning or if it's just my imagination winning) encapsulate this internal struggle. The song's repetitive structure and melodic 'uh oh' refrains emphasize the cyclical nature of these doubts and the difficulty of finding clarity in matters of the heart.
