The Depths of Obsessive Love in 'Capaz de Todo'
In 'Capaz de Todo,' Nash delves into the tumultuous and consuming nature of obsessive love. The song's protagonist finds himself living 'a contracorriente' (against the current), indicating a life turned upside down by an overpowering infatuation. This love has hypnotized his heart, leaving him disoriented and willing to surrender completely. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is so deeply in love that he is willing to do anything, even if it means losing his sense of self and control.
The recurring theme of being 'al filo de mi comprensión' (on the edge of my understanding) suggests that the protagonist is grappling with the irrationality of his emotions. He acknowledges that his devotion borders on worship, as he is driven to adore the object of his affection's vanity and to venerate them without pause. This intense adoration is described as madness, highlighting the unhealthy and obsessive nature of his love. The protagonist's willingness to 'suplicarte hasta llorar' (beg until crying) and to be capable of anything for his beloved underscores the depth of his emotional turmoil and submission.
Nash's lyrics also explore the idea of losing one's identity in the throes of passion. The protagonist feels that his beloved has consumed his very being, leaving him feeling like a slave to their whims. The line 'tu labios me derriten de forma tan cruel' (your lips melt me in such a cruel way) encapsulates the paradox of pleasure and pain in this obsessive love. The song ultimately portrays a love that is all-consuming, possessive, and self-destructive, leaving the protagonist at the mercy of his emotions and the object of his desire.
