Contigo
Pereza
A Night of Liberation and Desire
The song 'Contigo' by Pereza is a passionate declaration of desire and liberation. The lyrics express a deep infatuation with someone who stands out as unique and captivating. The singer is drawn to this person on a physical and magical level, feeling an irresistible chemistry that makes them want to be close. This attraction is so strong that it overrides any concerns about social norms or the opinions of others, including the friend's disapproval mentioned in the lyrics.
The chorus emphasizes a shift in the singer's mindset. They are determined to stop being their own worst enemy and instead focus entirely on their object of desire. This night is seen as an opportunity to break free from previous constraints and finally do what they have been unable to do before. The repetition of the phrase 'Hoy vamos a hacer lo que no hemos podido' (Today we are going to do what we haven't been able to) underscores the urgency and importance of seizing the moment.
The song also touches on themes of frustration and escapism. The singer is tired of the daily grind and the monotony of work, finding solace in the thought of being with this person. The idea of throwing a party and not caring about the neighbor's opinion further highlights the desire to break free from societal expectations and live in the moment. 'Contigo' is a celebration of love, desire, and the courage to pursue what truly makes one happy, even if it means defying conventions.
