The Invisible Bonds of Love in 'Lo Que No Ves'
POL 3.14's song 'Lo Que No Ves' delves into the complexities of love and memory, exploring how emotions and connections can persist even when they are not visible. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has ended, yet the remnants of love and shared experiences linger. The protagonist reflects on leaving abruptly, symbolized by the lipstick left behind, which serves as a testament to the time spent together and the emotional investment made.
The recurring line 'Tú me enseñas que se puede querer lo que no ves' (You teach me that you can love what you don't see) encapsulates the central theme of the song. It suggests that love transcends physical presence and visible signs, existing in memories, feelings, and the impact left on one's life. The metaphor of 'tropezamos de repente como en un nuevo 11-S' (we stumbled suddenly like in a new 9/11) highlights the unexpected and intense nature of their encounters, drawing a parallel to a significant and life-altering event.
As the song progresses, the protagonist grapples with the reasons for leaving and the process of moving on. The repetition of not being able to remember why they left or how they arrived at their current state underscores the confusion and emotional turmoil that often accompany the end of a relationship. Despite this, there is a sense of healing and erasure of past pain, as indicated by the lines 'Solo sé que estoy borrando lo que un día te hizo daño' (I only know that I am erasing what once hurt you). Ultimately, 'Lo Que No Ves' is a poignant reflection on the enduring nature of love and the invisible bonds that continue to shape our lives even after a relationship has ended.
