Amar Así

Lynda's song 'Amar Así' delves deep into the heart-wrenching experience of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is all-consuming yet unreciprocated, leaving the protagonist in a state of emotional turmoil. The opening lines describe loves that 'steal the soul' and 'snatch even the crumbs,' setting the stage for a narrative of a love that is both intense and unfulfilled. The singer's love story is described as 'unfortunate,' highlighting the disparity between her feelings and the lack of reciprocation from the person she loves. This unspoken love creates a chasm between them, filled with silence and unacknowledged emotions.

The song continues to explore the slow, painful growth of love that is likened to 'grass through asphalt,' a metaphor for something beautiful struggling to survive in a harsh environment. The protagonist's love is 'silent, sad, and broken,' emphasizing the loneliness and despair that come with loving someone who does not care. The repeated refrain 'amar así' (to love like this) underscores the agony of loving without being heard or understood. The love described is blind, unconditional, and hopeless, leaving the protagonist to love in solitude.

Lynda also touches on the theme of love that never blossoms, comparing it to plants that 'die of cold and wither.' This metaphor captures the essence of a love that is doomed from the start, never given the chance to flourish. The irony in her love story is palpable, as the person she loves is oblivious to the depth of her feelings, leaving her soul 'raw and exposed.' The song is a poignant exploration of the pain and irony of loving someone who will never return those feelings, making 'Amar Así' a powerful anthem for anyone who has experienced the sting of unrequited love.
