Ojos Papel (feat. Leo Rizzi)

In 'Ojos Papel,' Reik, featuring Leo Rizzi, delves into the delicate and often painful nature of relationships. The song's title, which translates to 'Paper Eyes,' serves as a metaphor for fragility and vulnerability. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship on the brink of collapse, where communication has broken down, and both parties are struggling to understand what went wrong. The imagery of walking slowly through a garden without expression suggests a sense of numbness and disconnection, highlighting the emotional distance between the couple.

The chorus repeatedly asks, 'Mírame, ojos papel, ¿qué nos pasó?' ('Look at me, paper eyes, what happened to us?'), emphasizing the confusion and longing for clarity. The phrase 'camino de sal y tristeza' ('path of salt and sadness') further underscores the sorrow and bitterness that have come to define their relationship. The song's plea for honesty and open communication is evident in lines like 'si estamos mal, hablemos bien' ('if we are bad, let's talk well'), suggesting that the only way to move forward is through sincere dialogue and mutual understanding.

'Ojos Papel' also touches on the theme of broken promises, as seen in the line 'tanto prometimos y no queda nada' ('we promised so much and nothing remains'). This sentiment reflects the disappointment and disillusionment that often accompany the end of a relationship. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love and loss, making it a poignant and relatable piece. Reik's signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and emotive melodies, combined with Leo Rizzi's soulful voice, creates a powerful and moving exploration of the complexities of love.
