CÓMO HAS ESTAU?
Mora
The Longing of Unanswered Love
The song "CÓMO HAS ESTAU?" by Mora is a poignant expression of longing and unrequited love. The lyrics convey the artist's deep sense of missing someone and the pain of not knowing how they've been since they've been apart. The repeated question, "¿Cómo has esta'o?" which translates to "How have you been?" underscores the singer's yearning for connection and the desire to understand what has happened to the person they care about since they've last seen each other.
Mora's lyrics paint a picture of someone who is emotionally invested, to the point of obsession, as indicated by the lines about writing lyrics and filling up notebooks. The imagery of talking to the wind and the waves about their shared stories suggests a deep sense of solitude and reflection. The artist is left with memories and unanswered questions, highlighting the theme of longing for a past relationship.
The song also touches on the theme of gossip and misinformation, as the singer addresses rumors spread by the love interest's friend. This adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, suggesting that external influences may be affecting the relationship. The metaphor of being shot without bullets conveys the idea that the rumors are baseless and that jealousy might be at play. The artist's emotional vulnerability is further emphasized by the metaphor of falling 'directly into the coffin' when looked at by the person they love, indicating the profound impact this person has on their emotional state.
