Pensamientos Intrusivos

Kali Uchis' song 'Pensamientos Intrusivos' delves into the emotional turmoil of a person haunted by persistent thoughts of a loved one. The title itself, which translates to 'Intrusive Thoughts,' sets the stage for a deeply personal and introspective journey. Uchis uses a blend of English and Spanish lyrics to express the intensity of her feelings, showcasing her bilingual artistry and the fluidity with which she navigates different cultural expressions.

The song's narrative revolves around the singer's experience of an all-consuming love that continues to affect her despite the pain it has caused. The lyrics 'You made my heart bleed fast as cars racin'' and 'Round and round we go, back and forth we go' suggest a tumultuous relationship that is both exhilarating and exhausting. Uchis' declaration of unwavering loyalty and willingness to do anything for her partner, even as she acknowledges the heartbreak she's endured, highlights the complexity of love and the vulnerability it entails.

The recurring phrase 'La voz en mi mente' followed by 'Siempre habla de ti' captures the essence of the song's title, as Uchis describes the relentless inner voice that constantly reminds her of her lover. The use of the present and past tense in 'hoy (ayer, ahorita y mañana)' indicates that these thoughts are a constant presence, unaffected by time. The song is a poignant reflection on the power of love and memory, and how they can continue to shape our lives long after a relationship has ended.
