The Unattainable Desires in 'Lo Que Quieres' by Los Tres

Los Tres, a renowned Chilean rock band, delves into the complexities of human desires and the often unattainable nature of these aspirations in their song 'Lo Que Quieres.' The lyrics explore the tension between what one wants and what one is, suggesting a profound sense of longing and the struggle to reconcile these two aspects of existence. The opening lines, 'Si hiciera todo lo que quieres / Descansaría en lo que eres,' hint at the idea that fulfilling someone else's desires might bring peace, but it also raises questions about the authenticity of such fulfillment.

The imagery of 'Luz sin pagar' and 'El eco del Mar' evokes a sense of something beautiful yet elusive, much like the desires themselves. The recurring theme of natural elements, such as the quiet water and the cold volcano, symbolizes the dormant and unfulfilled state of these desires. The lines 'Ceniza y piedra no encenderán / Oscuridad' further emphasize the futility of trying to ignite something that is inherently inert, suggesting that some desires may never come to fruition.

The song also touches on the emotional turmoil that accompanies these unfulfilled desires. The line 'Gritar no es llorar' differentiates between outward expressions of frustration and the deeper, more silent sorrow that lies beneath. This distinction underscores the complexity of human emotions and the often hidden pain of unmet expectations. Through its poetic lyrics and evocative imagery, 'Lo Que Quieres' captures the essence of longing and the bittersweet nature of human desires, making it a poignant reflection on the human condition.
