Posdata:

The song "Posdata" by Paulo Londra explores the complexity of modern relationships, particularly those that straddle the fine line between friendship and romance. The lyrics describe a relationship where verbal communication is avoided, perhaps out of fear of defining something that's difficult to explain or due to conflicting desires, where one person is in love, but the other is not. The line "Fue genial lo de comernos pero sin hablar" suggests an intense physical connection, but without the support of emotional or verbal communication, which might indicate a relationship that is purely physical.

Paulo Londra addresses the idea of obsession and how it can dominate feelings. He also touches on the theme of emotional responsibility by saying "Yo estaba mal y tú estabas bien / Jugando conmigo y también con él," revealing a possible manipulation game set up by the other person, who seems to enjoy playing at his and another partner's expense. This also reveals a love triangle, where loyalty and sincerity are questionable. The repetition of "Solo friends / Así es cómo debe ser" indicates an attempt to rationalize the relationship, keeping it at the friendship level to avoid emotional complications, even though that might not be what he truly wants.

The lyrics also highlight the need to keep emotions guarded and protected, as seen in the lines "Ya bajé la guardia una vez / Y tú siempre salеs ganando" and "Apagamo' el corazón y la razón, no la usamo'." This suggests an emotional defense, where the narrator prefers not to delve into feelings to avoid pain or disappointment, as he seems to be unreciprocated. The song, therefore, reflects the complexity and ambiguity of contemporary relationships, where care for one's feelings is not always present, and physical desire often takes precedence.
