en verdad

RickyEdit's song 'en verdad' delves into the complexities of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply infatuated with someone but struggles to express their feelings. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of confusion and frustration, trying to distract themselves with other activities but always being pulled back by their emotions. The line 'Siempre que estoy a cien tú me puedes frenar' (Whenever I'm at a hundred, you can stop me) encapsulates this internal conflict, highlighting how the mere presence of the person they love can bring their world to a halt.

The song also touches on missed opportunities and the regret that follows. The protagonist admits to never seizing the chance to express their feelings, as seen in the line 'Pa’ cerrar la puta boca e intentarte besar' (To shut my damn mouth and try to kiss you). This regret is compounded by the realization that even when things seem to be going well, the presence of their love interest brings about a sense of unease and discomfort. The repeated phrase 'Siempre me vienes mal' (You always come to me wrong) underscores this sentiment, emphasizing the emotional dissonance that the protagonist feels.

In the latter part of the song, RickyEdit introduces a narrative element, describing a scenario reminiscent of a movie plot. However, this idealized version of events contrasts sharply with the protagonist's reality. The mention of 'mariposas, lilas, azules y rosas' (butterflies, lilacs, blues, and pinks) and the metaphor of swallowing insecticide to kill these feelings further illustrate the lengths to which the protagonist goes to cope with their unrequited love. The song concludes with a poignant admission of the protagonist's struggle to understand why they are so affected by this person, encapsulating the essence of unrequited love and the emotional rollercoaster it entails.
