Como sal y arena

Marcos Llunas' song 'Como sal y arena' is a heartfelt exploration of deep, passionate love. The lyrics convey a longing to live and feel through the connection with a significant other. The repeated desire to 'live' and 'feel' through the other person’s kisses and caresses highlights the intensity of the emotions involved. Llunas uses vivid imagery to express how intertwined his life is with his lover's, comparing their bond to 'salt and sand,' elements that are inseparable and naturally connected.

The metaphor of 'salt and sand' is particularly powerful, suggesting that just as these two elements are found together in nature, so too are the singer and his beloved. This metaphor extends to other parts of the song, where Llunas describes his life being in the lover's skin and his soul in their hands. This imagery emphasizes the depth of his dependence and connection, portraying a love that is all-consuming and essential to his existence.

The song also touches on themes of uncertainty and desire for reassurance. Llunas repeatedly asks for his lover to express their feelings and to love him forever, indicating a need for emotional security. The lines 'Sólo quiero saber si me puedo perder otra vez en tu locura' and 'Sólo quiero creer o quizás entender si te acercas o te alejas' reflect a yearning to understand the lover's intentions and to feel secure in their affection. This blend of passion, dependence, and a quest for emotional certainty makes 'Como sal y arena' a poignant and relatable love song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the complexities of deep romantic love.
