Obsesión

Los de Marras' song 'Obsesión' delves into the intense and often unsettling nature of infatuation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply captivated by someone to the point of obsession. The opening lines, 'Eres tan bonita que me da miedo mirarte,' reveal a fear of confronting the beauty of the object of their affection, indicating a sense of awe and intimidation. This fear, however, does not deter the protagonist from following and watching the person, as described in 'Soy el que te sigue por las tardes en el parque,' highlighting a voyeuristic and possessive behavior.

The song's chorus, 'Te has convertido para mi en una obsesión,' explicitly states the transformation of admiration into obsession. The protagonist feels that the person has stolen their heart and become an integral part of their existence. The metaphor of a 'celda de cristal' (glass cell) suggests a self-imposed prison where the protagonist can safely admire and sing to their muse, indicating a desire to control and contain their feelings. The imagery of tying a smile to a song and creating a 'cárcel de cartón' (cardboard prison) further emphasizes the theme of possession and control.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's obsession deepens, with lines like 'Me gustan tus ruidos y también esos olores' showing an intense fixation on even the smallest details of the person's presence. The declaration that the person has become their 'libertad' (freedom) and muse underscores the paradoxical nature of obsession, where the object of desire is both a source of inspiration and a form of captivity. The final lines, 'Contra ti, por ti, contigo y es que eres... Mi ciudad,' encapsulate the all-consuming nature of the obsession, likening the person to a city that the protagonist is willing to fight for, against, and with, signifying a complex and consuming relationship.
