The All-Consuming Passion in 'Obsesion' by Kema
In 'Obsesion,' Kema delves into the depths of an all-consuming passion and longing for a loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is utterly captivated by their feelings, to the point where they lose control and are constantly dreaming of being with their beloved. The repetition of phrases like 'soñando despierto' (dreaming awake) and 'las manos temblando' (hands trembling) emphasizes the intensity of this obsession, highlighting how it affects the person's daily life and emotional state.
The song uses powerful metaphors to convey the depth of this infatuation. For instance, the line 'Saber que si te tengo eres mi medicina' (Knowing that if I have you, you are my medicine) suggests that the presence of the loved one has a healing effect, providing solace and relief from the turmoil of longing. Additionally, the imagery of 'caminar el paraíso con los pies descalzos' (walking in paradise barefoot) evokes a sense of pure, unadulterated bliss that the person experiences when imagining being with their love.
Kema's 'Obsesion' also touches on the theme of vulnerability. The repeated admission of feeling like they are dying for a kiss and the desperation expressed in 'me desespero por tu amor' (I despair for your love) reveal a raw, unguarded side of the narrator. This vulnerability is a testament to the power of love and how it can dominate one's thoughts and actions, making them feel both alive and on the brink of despair. The song captures the duality of love as both a source of immense joy and profound agony, encapsulating the essence of an obsession that is both beautiful and overwhelming.
