La Verdad (part. Resonancia Etérea)

The Truth of Unrequited Love in 'La Verdad'
The song 'La Verdad', by Kidd Voodoo featuring the band Resonancia Etérea, explores the complexities of unrequited love and its accompanying emotions. The lyrics reflect a longing to be with someone already involved in another relationship — a relationship that, in the narrator's eyes, isn't truly fulfilling for the person he loves. The repeated phrase 'tú eres tan bonita y a él no lo necesitas' emphasizes the narrator's conviction that his beloved’s current love isn't genuine.
Caught in a cycle of unspoken thoughts and feelings, the narrator reveals a deep attraction and a desire to bring happiness to the one he admires. He speaks of wanting to dance with her and to be by her side, yet finds himself restricted by external circumstances — namely, the presence of another person and his own hesitation to openly express his emotions. The song captures the essence of platonic love, in which the narrator accepts admiring from afar while dreaming of an alternate reality in which they could be together.
The collaboration with Resonancia Etérea — the indie rock band that marked the beginning of Kidd Voodoo's musical journey — brings a unique soundscape to the track. Ultimately, 'La Verdad' becomes a meditation on the emotional truth of desiring someone beyond one's reach, acknowledging that love often lies more in what we feel than in what we can actually attain.
