Especies que desaparecen

Los Rodríguez's song "Especies que desaparecen" delves into the theme of human connection and the fear of losing it. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship on the brink of extinction, likening the couple to a species that is disappearing. This metaphor underscores the rarity and preciousness of their bond, suggesting that their differences are so minimal that they almost blend into one. The repetition of the phrase "somos como el tiempo perdido" (we are like lost time) emphasizes a sense of nostalgia and the feeling that their moments together are slipping away, unappreciated and unnoticed, much like words whispered to no one in particular.

The plea, "Por favor no me dejes" (please don't leave me), is a desperate cry to preserve what remains of their connection. The repetition of this line, along with the insistence that "eso no pase entre los dos" (let that not happen between us), highlights the singer's fear of becoming completely isolated and losing the unique bond they share. This fear is compounded by the realization that they might be the last of their kind, a unique pair in a world that no longer values such connections.

In the final lines, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer asserts, "No somos los últimos en la tierra de nuestra clase" (we are not the last of our kind on earth). This shift suggests a realization that their connection, while rare, is not entirely extinct. It is a call to action to cherish and nurture their relationship, to ensure that it does not fade away like so many others. The song is a poignant reminder of the fragility of human connections and the importance of valuing and preserving them in a world that often overlooks their significance.
