Como si estuviera

No Te Va Gustar's song "Como si estuviera" delves into the profound and often serene experience of transitioning from life to death. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who has passed away but remains in a state of calm observation, as if anesthetized. This sense of detachment is evident in lines like "Miro para afuera y veo todo bien, como si estuviera anestesiado" (I look outside and see everything fine, as if I were anesthetized). The protagonist's enemies have vanished, symbolizing the release from earthly conflicts and struggles.

The song explores the ambiguity of death, with the protagonist unsure if they are truly dead, as expressed in the line "Creo que estoy muerto pero no lo sé" (I think I'm dead but I don't know). This uncertainty is coupled with a sense of peace and protection, as the protagonist vows to watch over and protect their loved one, saying "Yo te protejo, yo te cuido vos seguí nomás" (I protect you, I take care of you, you just keep going). This reflects a selfless love that transcends physical presence, offering comfort and reassurance to those left behind.

The recurring theme of reflection, both literal and metaphorical, is significant. The protagonist finds rest in the eyes of their loved one, suggesting that their essence lives on through the memories and emotions of those they leave behind. The song's gentle tone and soothing melody enhance the feeling of acceptance and tranquility, making it a poignant meditation on the nature of life, death, and the enduring power of love.
