Pesa

Natali Vangler's song 'Pesa' delves into the emotional turmoil and complexities of a strained relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is caught in a cycle of anxiety and solitude, feeling disarmed and undone by the weight of their emotions. The opening lines, 'Ansiosa nunca vive en calma / Se queda sola y se desarma,' set the tone for a narrative of inner conflict and emotional disarray. The metaphor of a thread being pulled from the chest until it is undone symbolizes the unraveling of the protagonist's emotional state.

The chorus, 'Pisa mi cabeza / Ya que poco pesa / Fija si te sirve pa' sacarte tu rencor,' is a powerful plea for release from the burden of resentment. The act of stepping on the head, a symbol of submission and vulnerability, is juxtaposed with the idea of it weighing little, suggesting that the protagonist feels insignificant or undervalued. This imagery is further reinforced by the lines, 'Feliz y enamora' / Sola llora, desconsola',' which contrast moments of happiness and love with deep, inconsolable sorrow.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of unreciprocated love and the pain it brings. The protagonist reflects on the sacrifices made, 'En mi casa tuviste un techo / Amor, comida y mi pecho,' and questions the fairness of their suffering, 'Si este amor no es de pena / Que me lleva a la condena.' The coldness and isolation felt in the relationship are palpable, 'Y en el pasaje hace frío / Y ya veo / Que no estás conmigo,' highlighting the emotional distance and the ultimate realization of being alone. 'Pesa' is a poignant exploration of love, resentment, and the struggle to find peace amidst emotional chaos.
