Que Te Parece
Matias
Dreaming of a Fairytale Love in 'Que Te Parece'
The song 'Que Te Parece' by Matias delves into the emotional turmoil of longing for a lost love and the desire to escape reality to create a perfect world with that person. The lyrics open with the artist reflecting on the late hours of the night, writing to someone he misses, and reminiscing about past interactions. The mention of Sundays and the games played suggests a routine of communication that was once cherished but has now become a source of pain.
Matias expresses regret over the lack of clarity in the relationship, wishing that his partner had been more straightforward about their desires. The gold and roses metaphor indicates a mismatch in expectations, where one sought luxury (gold) and the other sought beauty and romance (roses). Despite the heartache, the artist is willing to start anew, suggesting a deep emotional investment in the relationship. The chorus introduces a fantasy of leaving everything behind to start over on another planet, a metaphor for wanting to create an idealized, untroubled life with his love interest. This escapist dream includes becoming a prince to his Cinderella, where happiness is effortless and every scar tells a story.
The song also touches on personal growth and the bittersweet nature of fame. Matias acknowledges the changes he has undergone, sometimes feeling unrecognizable to himself. He appreciates the support of fans and reflects on the loneliness that can accompany success. The recurring theme of seeking validation and comfort in dreams and aspirations is evident, as is the struggle to reconcile the desire for love with the reality of disappointment and unfulfilled expectations.
