Lo Sobrenatural

In 'Lo Sobrenatural,' José Madero delves into the complexities and frustrations of communication within a relationship. The song opens with the acknowledgment that their communication is filled with questions, yet the answers remain elusive and repetitive. This sets the tone for a narrative where the characters are trapped in a cycle of misunderstanding and unfulfilled expectations. The repeated phrase 'no hay respuesta' (there are no answers) underscores the futility and stagnation they feel, highlighting a sense of disconnection and unresolved tension.

Madero uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the emotional landscape of the song. The mention of 'síntomas de la vanidad' (symptoms of vanity) and drinking 'a cántaros' (by the jugful) suggests a self-destructive indulgence, perhaps as a coping mechanism for the lack of meaningful communication. The line 'mis ojos no ves, te veo a los pies' (you don't see my eyes, I see you at your feet) evokes a sense of imbalance and unreciprocated attention, further emphasizing the emotional distance between the partners.

The song also touches on themes of apathy and silence, with the protagonist questioning when their partner became so indifferent and why they themselves have always been so quiet. The reference to the song 'Siempre He Sido Igual' (I've Always Been the Same) on the radio serves as a poignant reminder of their unchanging situation. The final question, '¿Crees en lo sobrenatural?' (Do you believe in the supernatural?), adds a layer of existential pondering, suggesting that perhaps the answers they seek are beyond the realm of the ordinary, hinting at a deeper, almost mystical search for meaning in their relationship.
