Como Quisiera

Nissa's song 'Como Quisiera' delves deep into the painful experience of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that follows. The lyrics express a longing for reciprocation from a loved one who has chosen someone else. The repeated lines 'Como quisiera que me mires / De la misma forma que lo miras a él' (How I wish you would look at me / The same way you look at him) highlight the protagonist's yearning for the same affection and attention that their love interest gives to another person. This unfulfilled desire creates a sense of inadequacy and sorrow, as the protagonist grapples with feelings of being overlooked and undervalued.

The song also explores the theme of emotional devastation. The imagery of 'La sangre en el suelo ya la veo derramada / De esos sentimientos que mataste a puñaladas' (I see the blood spilled on the ground / From those feelings you stabbed to death) vividly portrays the depth of the protagonist's emotional wounds. The metaphor of bloodshed emphasizes the intensity of the heartbreak and the sense of betrayal felt by the protagonist. This vivid language underscores the destructive impact of unreciprocated love on one's emotional well-being.

Furthermore, 'Como Quisiera' touches on the struggle to move on from a painful past. The lines 'Como quisiera irme de aquí / Pa olvidarme de todo lo que pude decir' (How I wish I could leave here / To forget everything I could have said) reflect the protagonist's desire to escape the memories and emotions tied to their unrequited love. The song captures the difficulty of pretending to be okay when, in reality, the protagonist is deeply hurt. This internal conflict is a common experience for many who have faced similar situations, making the song relatable and poignant.

Nissa's emotive delivery and the melancholic melody further enhance the song's themes, creating a powerful and moving portrayal of love, loss, and the quest for emotional healing.
