Veo

Los Auténticos Decadentes' song 'Veo' delves into the complexities of human connection and the barriers we often put up to protect ourselves. The lyrics speak to a relationship where both parties are struggling with their own insecurities and fears. The repeated phrase 'Me gustas tanto' (I like you so much) underscores a deep affection, but it's clear that this affection is hindered by a facade of confidence and control.

The song's protagonist urges their partner to drop their guard and embrace vulnerability. Lines like 'Si te vieras como te veo' (If you saw yourself as I see you) and 'Dejarías a un lado el miedo' (You would leave fear aside) highlight the disconnect between self-perception and how others see us. The protagonist sees through the partner's rigid exterior and recognizes the fear and timidity that lie beneath. This insight is both a plea and a reassurance, suggesting that true connection can only be achieved by letting go of these defenses.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'Veo, veo' (I see, I see), emphasizes the act of truly seeing and understanding each other. The protagonist observes that their partner is stuck, unable to move past their fears ('Veo, veo que no te movés de acá'). This stagnation is a metaphor for emotional paralysis, where fear prevents growth and deeper intimacy. The song ultimately calls for a mutual shedding of pretenses, encouraging both individuals to be more open and honest with each other, paving the way for a more genuine and fulfilling relationship.
