The Pain of Unreciprocated Love in 'Como Es Posible'
Los Angeles Negros' song 'Como Es Posible' delves into the emotional turmoil of unreciprocated love and the struggle for self-respect. The lyrics express the narrator's disbelief and heartbreak as their partner, who once professed deep love, now suggests they should be free as if their past relationship meant nothing. This sudden shift in the partner's attitude is jarring, and the narrator grapples with the idea of moving on while still valuing their own self-worth.
The repeated lines 'te amo (te amo), te amo (te amo)' emphasize the depth of the love that was once shared, making the partner's suggestion to be 'libre (libre, libre, libre)' even more painful. The narrator's refusal to embrace this newfound freedom stems from a place of self-respect and a recognition of their own value. They are not willing to be just another 'pez para cualquier carnada' (fish for any bait), highlighting their desire for a meaningful and genuine connection rather than a superficial one.
The song also touches on themes of fidelity and the contrasting attitudes towards love and relationships. The narrator criticizes their partner for being someone who enjoys 'caer en la redes' (falling into nets), implying a tendency towards infidelity or casual relationships. This contrast underscores the narrator's commitment to a deeper, more sincere form of love, and their unwillingness to compromise their values for the sake of fleeting freedom. 'Como Es Posible' is a poignant exploration of love, self-respect, and the pain of realizing that the person you loved may not have valued the relationship as deeply as you did.
