La Bien Querida
Rediscovering Love Amidst Uncertainty
La Bien Querida's song 'Hoy' delves into the complexities of love, memory, and existential contemplation. The lyrics open with a reflection on the burdens of knowledge and understanding, suggesting that some truths are too painful to bear. The protagonist acknowledges the difficulty of comprehending certain aspects of their relationship, yet upon seeing their loved one again, they decide to rekindle their affection. This decision to 'start loving again' highlights the resilience of love, even when faced with past hurts and misunderstandings.
The song also touches on the theme of mortality, with a poignant question about the nature of death. The line 'If death is looking and not seeing you' encapsulates the fear of losing a loved one and the emptiness that such a loss would bring. This metaphorical interpretation of death as a state of absence underscores the deep emotional connection between the protagonist and their partner. It suggests that the true essence of death lies in the separation from those we hold dear, rather than the physical cessation of life.
In the final verses, the protagonist contemplates the idea of confession and the ghosts of the past. These 'frozen ghosts' represent unresolved issues and memories that have been pushed aside. However, the act of seeing their loved one again prompts a renewal of feelings and a willingness to confront these buried emotions. The repetition of the decision to love again signifies a conscious choice to embrace vulnerability and the complexities of their relationship, despite the uncertainties that lie ahead.
