Déjame un poco de amor
La Rue Morgue
A Plea for Love Amidst Confusion and Change
La Rue Morgue's song "Déjame un poco de amor" delves into the complexities of a troubled relationship, capturing the emotional turmoil and longing for love amidst confusion and change. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship on the brink, with the protagonist feeling both provoked and cursed by their partner. The imagery of a fogged-up window symbolizes the unclear and uncertain state of their relationship, while the mention of venom in the partner's body suggests a toxic dynamic that has developed between them.
The recurring line, "Algo pasó en nuestra esquina, algo pasó no nos viramos," indicates a pivotal moment or event that has caused a rift between the couple. This line underscores the sense of confusion and the inability to turn back or fix what has gone wrong. The protagonist's mind is filled with conflicting thoughts and memories, represented by the metaphor of "mil historias de cangrejos" (a thousand stories of crabs), which evokes a sense of entanglement and complexity.
The chorus, "Déjame un poco de amor para este Domingo," is a heartfelt plea for a small token of love to get through the day, highlighting the protagonist's vulnerability and dependence on their partner's affection. The imagery of a leaking boat in the open sea further emphasizes the protagonist's sense of being adrift and lost without their partner's love. Despite the turmoil, the protagonist expresses a reluctance to change their partner, indicating a deep, albeit troubled, attachment. The repeated mention of having tickets for a train they may never take symbolizes the uncertainty and hesitation in moving on from the relationship, underscoring the protagonist's emotional weakness without their partner's love.
