Lo Que Doy

In 'Lo Que Doy,' Ratones Paranoicos delve into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of seeing a loved one with someone else. The song opens with a confession of genuine love, where the narrator expresses a desire to be open about their feelings. The lines 'Siento que te quiero de verdad / Veo que esconderlo no va más' reveal a longing to stop hiding their emotions and to be seen together without pretense. This sets the stage for a narrative filled with vulnerability and heartache.

The chorus, 'El fuego se consume en soledad / Besos, que nos vean mas allá,' uses the metaphor of a consuming fire to depict the loneliness and burning desire the narrator feels. The imagery of kisses that transcend the physical realm suggests a deep emotional connection that the narrator yearns to share openly. However, this desire is met with anxiety and disappointment, as indicated by 'Me devora me devora la ansiedad / Me despierto ya no estás.' The recurring absence of the loved one amplifies the narrator's sense of longing and despair.

The song reaches its emotional peak with the lines 'Y cuando estás con él, yo me quedo aquí / Las horas nunca pasan para mi.' Here, the narrator confronts the harsh reality of their situation—being left behind while the loved one is with someone else. The plea 'Y basta de mentir... / Si te vas con él, ya no pienses más en mi' is a desperate call for honesty and closure. The narrator acknowledges the futility of their hope and urges the loved one to move on if they choose to be with someone else. This poignant ending encapsulates the essence of the song: the painful acceptance of unrequited love and the struggle to let go.
