Por Amor

Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas' song 'Por Amor' delves into the themes of love, rebellion, and self-identity. The lyrics reflect a journey of personal growth and the lessons learned from various influences in life. The opening lines, 'En la escuela aprendi / Como ser del monton,' suggest a conformity learned in school, while 'En el barrio dijeron no pidas perdon' indicates a tougher, more rebellious street education. The mention of rock and roll teaching the narrator to say 'no' instead of 'yes' highlights the genre's influence on his defiant attitude. The father figure's lesson to do things 'por amor' (for love) adds a layer of emotional depth and motivation behind the narrator's actions.

The chorus, 'Me gusta lo absoluto / Barajo posibilidades / Soy el alimento de tus debilidades,' portrays a character who embraces extremes and thrives on the vulnerabilities of others. This suggests a complex personality that is both confident and aware of the power dynamics in relationships. The line 'Te doy lo que soy / No pido mas / De lo que doy' emphasizes a sense of fairness and reciprocity in love, reinforcing the idea that genuine affection is about giving and receiving equally.

The final verse, 'No sera facil, viajar a mi lado / Dejo huella y cadaveres a mi paso,' acknowledges the challenges of being with someone who leaves a significant impact, both positive and negative. The commitment to 'conducire en la buena direccion' and finding 'una buena razon / Para creer en ti en mi / En los dos' underscores the importance of mutual belief and trust in a relationship. Ultimately, 'Por Amor' is a testament to the complexities of love, the influence of upbringing, and the rebellious spirit that shapes one's identity.
