A escondidas

Nestor En Bloque's song 'A escondidas' delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a clandestine love affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that must be kept hidden from the world, confined to the secrecy of a white bed from six to nine. This time frame suggests a fleeting, yet intense, period where the lovers can be together, away from prying eyes. The imagery of a 'cama blanca como la nieve' (a bed as white as snow) symbolizes purity and innocence, contrasting sharply with the need for secrecy and the societal judgment they face.

The song's chorus emphasizes the pain and passion of this hidden love. The repetition of 'A escondidas' (in hiding) underscores the constant need for discretion, while phrases like 'mi alma vibra, mi cuerpo arde' (my soul vibrates, my body burns) convey the intense emotional and physical connection between the lovers. The use of 'como un cobarde' (like a coward) reflects the shame and fear associated with their secret, highlighting the societal pressures that force them into the shadows.

Nestor En Bloque also touches on the judgment and gossip from those who consider themselves morally superior. The line 'Somos conversación predilecta de gente que se cree perfecta' (We are the favorite topic of people who think they are perfect) criticizes the hypocrisy of society. The lovers are aware that their relationship is seen as taboo, especially 'prohibidos a menores' (forbidden to minors), which could imply an age difference or other societal taboos. This song captures the essence of forbidden love, the thrill and agony of living in the shadows, and the societal constraints that dictate what is considered acceptable.
