Como Yo

SanLuis's song "Como Yo" delves into the complexities of love, memory, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover who is convinced that their former partner cannot forget them, despite claims to the contrary. The song opens with a metaphor comparing the end of their love to curing a cold with syrup and lemon, suggesting that the breakup was treated as something trivial and easily remedied. However, the protagonist believes that their ex is merely pretending to have moved on, as indicated by the line about selective amnesia.

The chorus emphasizes the uniqueness of the protagonist's love, asserting that no one else can love their ex the way they did. This sentiment is repeated throughout the song, reinforcing the idea that their love was unparalleled and irreplaceable. The use of celestial bodies like Saturn and Pluto serves to highlight the vastness and rarity of such a love, suggesting that it is something extraordinary and not easily found. The protagonist's persistence is further illustrated by their refusal to accept that they have been forgotten, even going so far as to accuse their ex of lying about it.

The song also touches on the theme of emotional barriers, with the ex-lover having "walled up" their heart to keep out the protagonist's words. Despite this, the protagonist remains stubborn and determined, likening themselves to a child denied a toy. This imagery underscores their relentless nature and unwillingness to give up on the idea that their love is unforgettable. The song concludes with a series of comparisons, stating that there is no one like the protagonist in various locations around the world, further emphasizing their belief in the singularity of their love.
