sé que no debo

Orslok's song "sé que no debo" delves into the depths of emotional turmoil and self-destruction. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the loss of a significant other, leading to a profound identity crisis. The opening lines, "Y ahora que no estás, ya no sé quién soy," set the tone for the entire song, highlighting the protagonist's struggle to find themselves in the absence of their partner. This sense of loss is compounded by a feeling of aimlessness, as they continue on a path without knowing where it leads.

The recurring theme of battling inner demons is evident in lines like "Dile a mis demonios que no puedo bajar hoy" and "Si quieren mi alma sin problemas se la doy." These lines suggest a willingness to surrender to these internal struggles, indicating a deep sense of despair. The imagery of being "cubierto en gasolina y empezando a arder" symbolizes self-destruction, as the protagonist feels like they are on the verge of burning out. This metaphor of fire and burning is a powerful representation of the intense emotional pain they are experiencing.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring acknowledgment of the protagonist's flaws and destructive behavior. Lines such as "Yo soy mucho de prometer y dejarte tirada" and "Siempre que aparezco dejo todo roto" reveal a pattern of making promises and then breaking them, leaving chaos in their wake. Despite this, there is a lingering hope for reconciliation, as seen in the line "Yo sigo esperando por si vuelves pronto," even though they know they shouldn't hold onto this hope. The repeated refrain "Aunque sé que no debo" underscores the internal conflict between knowing what is right and being unable to let go of their desires.
