Cristina

Pablo Perea's song 'Cristina' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the complexities of a friendship that is anything but platonic. The protagonist is deeply in love with Cristina, but she only sees him as a friend. This creates a painful dynamic where his feelings are not reciprocated, leading to a sense of frustration and heartache. The lyrics poignantly capture the protagonist's struggle as he grapples with his unreturned affection, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on him.

The song uses vivid metaphors to express the protagonist's feelings. For instance, he describes his lips as not knowing what friendship is when it comes to Cristina, indicating his desire for a romantic relationship rather than a platonic one. The line 'besos de usar y tirar' (kisses to use and throw away) suggests that Cristina's affections are fleeting and insincere, further deepening his sense of rejection and hurt. The protagonist also mentions feeling like a shadow, always following Cristina but never truly being seen or valued.

'Crisitina' also touches on themes of jealousy and emotional exhaustion. The protagonist admits to being consumed by jealousy, which he drinks in 'sorbos' (sips), indicating that it's a slow, painful process. Cristina, on the other hand, seems to enjoy the attention and the drama, as she 'disfrutas del morbo' (enjoys the morbid curiosity) of seeing him fend off other suitors. This dynamic creates a toxic cycle where the protagonist's love and devotion are met with indifference and even cruelty, making the song a poignant exploration of the darker side of unrequited love.
