Huesos

Los Burros' song 'Huesos' delves into the complexities of loving someone who is physically fragile and emotionally distant. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person so thin that they are almost ethereal, described as 'Huesos' (Bones), with very little flesh to hold onto. This physical frailty is a metaphor for emotional vulnerability and the difficulty of forming a deep connection. The singer expresses a sense of helplessness, wondering how to love someone who seems almost unreal, like a dream or a ghost.

The recurring imagery of bones and the lack of flesh symbolizes not just physical thinness but also a lack of emotional substance. The singer's kisses have 'no place to land,' indicating a struggle to find emotional intimacy. The heart's cries at night suggest a deep-seated desire to escape from an emotional prison, further emphasizing the theme of emotional fragility. The singer's love is genuine, but it is met with disbelief and a sense of unreality, as if the object of their affection is too delicate to be true.

Cultural and societal pressures also play a role in the narrative. The singer mentions that people don't leave them in peace, questioning their normalcy for loving someone so different. Despite societal judgment, the singer finds happiness in this unique relationship, highlighting the theme of unconditional love. The song captures the essence of loving someone who is both physically and emotionally fragile, navigating the challenges and societal perceptions that come with it.
