REAL

Nathy Peluso's song 'REAL' delves into the raw and intense emotions of a forbidden love that feels more genuine and valuable than anything the protagonist has ever experienced. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer vows to escape with their lover, even if it means facing dire consequences. The repeated line, 'Esto se siente real, nunca tuve algo tan caro,' emphasizes the unparalleled value and authenticity of this love, suggesting that it is worth any risk or sacrifice.

The song also explores the theme of defiance against societal norms and expectations. The protagonist acknowledges that their love is 'en contra de todo' (against everything) and that others warn them against it, fearing it will 'quemarme el corazón' (burn my heart). Despite these warnings, the singer's need for their lover is undeniable, highlighting the powerful and uncontrollable nature of their emotions. This defiance is further illustrated in the lines where the protagonist declares that they have already committed to this love, regardless of the potential dangers.

In the bridge, the metaphor of being a 'bala que maneja tu pistola' (bullet that drives your gun) adds a layer of intensity and passion to the relationship. It suggests a sense of being controlled and dominated by the lover, yet willingly so, as the protagonist is entirely devoted and addicted to this love. The imagery of 'besos en la oscuridad' (kisses in the dark) and the repeated assertion that the lover is their 'debilidad' (weakness) further emphasize the clandestine and irresistible nature of their connection. Overall, 'REAL' captures the essence of a love that is both dangerous and deeply fulfilling, defying all odds and societal constraints.
