Longing and Heartache Under the Pisces Moon
Leslie Shaw's song "Piscis" delves into the emotional turmoil of longing and unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply affected by the absence of their significant other. The recurring theme of calling and not receiving a response highlights the frustration and helplessness felt by the protagonist. The line "Tú me tienes con la luna en piscis" metaphorically suggests that the protagonist's emotions are as changeable and deep as the moon in Pisces, a zodiac sign known for its sensitivity and emotional depth.
The song also touches on the complexity of human relationships and the struggle between pride and vulnerability. The protagonist is aware that their partner still harbors feelings for them, as evidenced by the memories of their intimate moments in Miami. However, the partner's pride and refusal to admit their true feelings create a barrier between them. This is poignantly expressed in the lines, "Yo no entiendo porque le dices a tus amigos / Que estás perfecto si en realidad estás jodido." The protagonist urges their partner to let go of their pride and embrace their true emotions, emphasizing that both are suffering due to the separation.
Leslie Shaw's musical style, characterized by its blend of reggaeton and pop, adds a rhythmic and catchy backdrop to the heartfelt lyrics. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the protagonist's persistent longing and the cyclical nature of their thoughts. The song captures the essence of modern love and the emotional complexities that come with it, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love or a complicated relationship.
