Como Estas

The song 'Como Estas' by Libido delves into the emotional complexities of self-discovery and personal transformation. The lyrics open with a greeting, 'Cómo estás,' which translates to 'How are you?' This simple question sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the individual's emotional state. The song narrates a journey where the protagonist reveals their true self, symbolized by 'your name,' and experiences a rebirth or renewal, as indicated by the phrase 'Sentiste renacer.' This rebirth is not just a personal transformation but also a shared experience, as the protagonist connects deeply with another person.

The lyrics 'Me enseñaste tus ojos negros' and 'entonaste esa canción' suggest a moment of vulnerability and intimacy. The 'black eyes' could symbolize depth, mystery, or even sorrow, while the 'song' represents a form of emotional expression. The protagonist understands the other person 'tal como eres,' or 'just as you are,' indicating a profound acceptance and understanding. This mutual exchange of emotions and warmth is highlighted by the lines 'Y entregaste tanto' and 'Me mostraste tu calor,' emphasizing the depth of their connection.

However, the song also touches on the theme of loss and the difficulty of maintaining this emotional connection. The line 'Y ahora no puedes ver' suggests a sense of blindness or inability to perceive the same emotional depth as before. The advice 'Por ti será mejor que no busques más' implies that it might be better for the person to stop searching and return to their former state. The repetition of 'Cómo estás' at the end serves as a poignant reminder of the initial question, now laden with the weight of the emotional journey that has transpired. The final line, 'Hoy sentiste tus ojos solos,' encapsulates the feeling of loneliness and the realization that the journey of self-discovery can sometimes lead to isolation.
