Paciencia

The song 'Paciencia' by Ojos Locos delves into the emotional turmoil and existential angst experienced by the protagonist. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply affected by their longing and desire, symbolized by the phrase 'muero por tu boca tanto' (I die so much for your mouth). This intense craving is not just physical but also emotional, leading to a state of anxiety and confusion. The repetition of 'me vas a enfermar' (you are going to make me sick) underscores the detrimental impact of this unfulfilled desire on the protagonist's mental and emotional well-being.

The song also explores themes of memory and pain, as indicated by the lines 'algo muerde mi memoria' (something bites my memory) and 'tanto me va a lastimar' (it will hurt me so much). These lines suggest that the protagonist is haunted by past experiences or regrets that continue to inflict emotional pain. The metaphor of following one's destiny 'como un perro' (like a dog) and dancing 'entre el bien y el mal' (between good and evil) highlights the struggle between different moral and emotional states, further emphasizing the complexity of the protagonist's inner world.

The chorus, 'no es extraño, no, que pierda la paciencia' (it's not strange, no, that I lose patience), reflects a sense of inevitability in the protagonist's frustration and impatience. The mention of 'tantas voces, nadie para hablar' (so many voices, no one to talk to) and 'bienvenido a tu soledad' (welcome to your solitude) encapsulates the feeling of isolation despite being surrounded by noise and distractions. This juxtaposition of external chaos and internal loneliness is a poignant commentary on the human condition, making 'Paciencia' a deeply resonant and introspective song.
