ENEMIGO

Luis Vega's song 'ENEMIGO' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of being undervalued in a romantic relationship. The lyrics tell the story of a person who entered a casual relationship with the agreement that they would not fall in love. However, the narrator finds themselves breaking this agreement, developing deep feelings that are not reciprocated. The song captures the heartache of realizing that one's affection is seen merely as a pastime by the other person.

The title 'ENEMIGO,' which translates to 'enemy' in English, suggests a conflict within the narrator's heart. They feel betrayed by their own emotions and by Cupid, the mythical figure often associated with causing people to fall in love. The narrator sees themselves as an enemy of Cupid, indicating a sense of frustration with the pattern of falling for people who do not appreciate them. This internal battle leads to a decision to leave, to say goodbye to the heartache, and to let others experience the pain of love instead.

The song's melancholic tone is emphasized by the repetition of the phrase 'Adiós, me voy,' which means 'Goodbye, I'm leaving.' This refrain underlines the narrator's resolve to move on from the unfulfilling relationship. The mention of 'puro papel y lápiz' (pure paper and pencil) suggests that the song itself is a cathartic expression, a way for the artist to process and document their feelings of love and loss.
