Extraño

Miranda!'s song 'Extraño' delves into the complex emotions of nostalgia and longing for a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer reminiscing about the intense and unpredictable moments shared with a former lover. The use of specific imagery, such as 'el reflejo de la luna en tus gafas espejadas' (the reflection of the moon in your mirrored glasses) and 'el sabor a cigarrillo que tu beso me dejaba' (the taste of cigarette that your kiss left me), evokes a sense of intimacy and personal connection. These memories are cherished, yet they also bring a sense of melancholy as the singer grapples with the loss of these experiences.

The song also explores the theme of self-contradiction and confusion. The repeated line 'Lo que no sé es lo que quiero' (What I don't know is what I want) highlights the singer's internal struggle and uncertainty about their desires. This is further emphasized by the admission of feeling 'enveneno' (poisoned) by their actions and the acknowledgment of 'enloquecer en soledad' (going crazy in solitude) as their destiny. The singer's conflicting emotions are a central theme, as they express both a longing for the past and a recognition that moving on is necessary.

Additionally, 'Extraño' touches on the idea of escapism and the allure of deception. The lyrics mention 'abandonarme al universo del engaño' (abandoning myself to the universe of deception) and 'irnos de viaje y renovar nuestro vestuario' (going on a trip and renewing our wardrobe), suggesting a desire to escape reality and reinvent oneself. This escapism is a coping mechanism for dealing with the pain of the lost relationship. Despite the longing and nostalgia, the singer ultimately admits, 'te extraño, pero no tanto' (I miss you, but not that much), indicating a gradual acceptance and a step towards healing.
