Embracing Love's Paradoxes in 'Como Eres'
Ov7's song 'Como Eres' delves into the complexities and contradictions inherent in a deep, passionate relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both tumultuous and unwavering. The song opens with a depiction of constant disagreements and mixed signals, where one partner says 'yes' while the other says 'no,' and despite asking each other to stay, they also say goodbye. This paradox sets the stage for a relationship that is full of emotional highs and lows, yet deeply cherished.
The chorus reveals the depth of the singer's feelings, describing their partner as their 'freedom,' 'dream,' and 'life.' The imagery of eyes that 'inundate like the sea' and the partner being a 'light in darkness' underscores the profound impact this person has on the singer's life. Despite the confusion and lack of understanding, the singer wouldn't change anything about their partner, highlighting a love that accepts and embraces imperfections.
The song continues to explore the theme of love's contradictions, with lines like 'you laugh, you cry, all at the same time' and 'you walk against the wind.' These metaphors illustrate a partner who is unpredictable and defies conventional norms, yet is deeply loved for these very traits. The repeated affirmation of 'I love you as you are, until the end' encapsulates the song's core message: true love is about accepting and loving someone in their entirety, with all their flaws and idiosyncrasies.
