A Escondidas

Lucah's song 'A Escondidas' delves into the emotional turmoil of a clandestine relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is kept in the shadows, where the protagonist is left feeling like a second option. The song begins with the protagonist questioning the intentions of their lover, who reciprocated their feelings with a kiss but ultimately sowed seeds of false hope. This sets the stage for a narrative of unfulfilled promises and emotional betrayal.

The recurring theme of secrecy is central to the song. The protagonist reveals that their interactions with the lover were always hidden, only occurring 'a escondidas' (in secret). This secrecy is not just a physical act but also an emotional one, as the lover seeks solace in the protagonist only when convenient, leaving them feeling used and unimportant. The metaphor of being a 'vela encendida' (lit candle) symbolizes the protagonist's constant availability and unwavering support, despite knowing that the lover's heart belongs to someone else.

The song also touches on themes of self-blame and resignation. The protagonist reflects on their own role in the situation, wondering if their misfortune or their intense emotional investment led to this heartbreak. The repeated acknowledgment of being a second choice and the lover's indecision highlights the pain of unrequited love and the struggle of letting go. Lucah's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'A Escondidas' a powerful exploration of hidden love and the heartache it brings.
