Plástico

Lasso's song 'Plástico' delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship where emotional stability is a rare commodity. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that is inconsistent and unreliable, with the partner oscillating between affection and indifference. This emotional rollercoaster is encapsulated in lines like 'Un día me quieres, al otro te pierdes,' highlighting the unpredictability and lack of commitment from the other person. The singer is aware of the transient nature of this relationship, acknowledging that his partner is not looking for anything serious but rather a fleeting connection, 'Solo una ficha para un juego.'

The metaphor of being 'de Plástico' is central to the song's theme. Plastic, a material known for its durability and flexibility, symbolizes the singer's emotional resilience. He claims that nothing can destroy him because he has been hurt so many times that he has become accustomed to it. This metaphor extends to his willingness to be treated like a disposable object, 'Tírame como un dado que voy a disfrutarlo,' suggesting a sense of detachment and acceptance of his role in this unstable relationship. The repeated use of 'Plástico' emphasizes his hardened exterior and ability to endure emotional pain.

Despite the apparent emotional detachment, there is an underlying sense of self-awareness and strength. The singer asserts that he is not a child and will be fine regardless of the relationship's outcome, 'No soy un niño, voy a estar bien.' This declaration of independence and self-sufficiency is a powerful statement, indicating that he does not need his partner to survive or find happiness. The song ultimately portrays a journey of self-discovery and resilience, where the singer learns to navigate the complexities of love and heartbreak with a sense of strength and acceptance.
