Éxtasis

Pablo Alborán's song 'Éxtasis' delves into the transformative power of love and passion. The lyrics begin with the artist describing a state of emotional devastation caused by a previous relationship. He speaks of a soul left 'deshecha por dentro' (shattered inside) and a heart that took time to heal. This sets the stage for the arrival of a new love, which acts as a catalyst for emotional and physical rejuvenation. The metaphor of a kiss that 'agitaste los sentidos de mi cuerpo' (stirred the senses of my body) signifies the profound impact this new relationship has on him.

The song is rich with vivid imagery and metaphors that convey intense physical and emotional experiences. Alborán uses the metaphor of lava and a volcano to describe the overwhelming passion he feels, 'quiero ser la lava que derrama tu volcán de miel' (I want to be the lava that spills from your honey volcano). This imagery not only highlights the intensity of his feelings but also suggests a sense of renewal and rebirth, as lava, despite its destructive power, also creates new land. The repeated plea to be kissed and to 'tápame la boca con tu boca' (cover my mouth with your mouth) underscores a desire for complete immersion in this newfound love.

The chorus and the recurring 'oh oh oh' lines add a rhythmic and almost hypnotic quality to the song, enhancing its theme of being lost in the ecstasy of love. The lyrics also touch on the idea of forgetting past pains and losses, as the new love makes him 'olvide todo lo que un día perdí' (forget everything I once lost). This suggests that the relationship is not just a source of physical pleasure but also a means of emotional healing and liberation. The song concludes with a sense of surrender and acceptance, as he acknowledges the powerful effect this love has on him, 'desde que me rozaste yo ya me rendí' (since you touched me, I already surrendered).
