Me Gusta

San Alejo's song 'Me Gusta' delves into the intoxicating and often tumultuous nature of a passionate, forbidden love. The lyrics are rich with vivid imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of a relationship driven by intense physical desire and emotional complexity. The opening lines, 'Ansio el momento de tenerte encima / Quisiera estar adentro de tu cuerpo canibal,' set the tone for the song, expressing a deep yearning and almost primal need to be with the other person. This desire is further emphasized by the repeated references to physical touch and the act of making love, which are described in a way that highlights both the pleasure and the pain involved.

The song also explores the theme of innocence lost, as seen in the lines 'A mi me gusta hacerte el amor no me interesa que se / Pierda tu inocencia fugaz.' Here, the artist acknowledges that the relationship may lead to the loss of innocence, but this is portrayed as an inevitable and even desirable outcome. The juxtaposition of 'dulce como el vino' and 'sedienta como el mar sin la sal' adds another layer of complexity, suggesting that while the relationship is sweet and intoxicating, it also leaves a lingering sense of emptiness and longing.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of conflict and contradiction. The lyrics 'Solias pedirme que fuera indecente hacer todas las cosas / Que tenias en mente' and 'Salir sin hacer daño tu inocencia me miente' reveal a struggle between the desire to fulfill each other's fantasies and the realization that this may lead to emotional harm. The repeated references to 'perfume barato' and 'dulce veneno' further underscore the idea that this love, while alluring, is ultimately toxic and potentially destructive. San Alejo masterfully captures the essence of a love that is both irresistible and fraught with peril, making 'Me Gusta' a compelling exploration of the darker side of passion.
