Besos Robados
Loquillo
The Allure and Consequence of Stolen Kisses
Loquillo's song "Besos Robados" delves into the complex emotions surrounding love, betrayal, and the fleeting nature of life. The repeated plea for "besos robados" or "stolen kisses" suggests a desire for something forbidden and thrilling. These kisses are not just acts of affection but are imbued with a sense of danger and deceit, as indicated by the terms "besos tridores" (treacherous kisses) and "besos letales" (lethal kisses). The singer seems to be drawn to the excitement and risk that come with these stolen moments, even if they are ultimately harmful.
The lyrics also touch on themes of mortality and the legacy one leaves behind. The lines "Y quiza el dia de tu entierro / Cubran con ellos tu pecho" (And maybe on the day of your burial / They will cover your chest with them) suggest that these stolen kisses will be remembered and perhaps even honored after death. This imagery evokes a sense of finality and the idea that our actions, even the deceitful ones, have lasting consequences. The singer seems to find a twisted sense of comfort in the notion that these kisses will be part of their eternal rest.
Loquillo's musical style often blends rock with poetic lyrics, creating a dramatic and emotionally charged atmosphere. In "Besos Robados," this style amplifies the tension between desire and consequence, making the listener ponder the true cost of their actions. The song's dark romanticism and existential musings make it a compelling exploration of human nature and the complexities of love and betrayal.
