Navigating the Multiverse of Love and Loss in 'Cosas Extrañas' by Santa RM
Santa RM's song 'Cosas Extrañas' delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the surreal experiences that accompany these emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that feels otherworldly, almost as if it exists in a different universe. The artist uses metaphors like the moon, stars, and multiverses to describe the beauty and the unattainable nature of his love interest. He feels like a child gazing at the sky, mesmerized by an aurora boreal, symbolizing the awe and wonder he feels but also the distance and inaccessibility of the relationship.
The song also explores the theme of unfulfilled expectations and the frustration that comes with it. Santa RM likens his experience to being a piece that doesn't fit in a puzzle, highlighting the sense of not belonging or being out of place. The references to 'Calabozos y dragones' (Dungeons and Dragons) and board games further emphasize the idea of trying to navigate a complex and often confusing emotional landscape. He wanted to be the hero saving the princess but ended up feeling like the prey, trapped in a cycle of frustration and longing.
'Cosas Extrañas' also touches on the idea of personal growth and resilience. Despite the emotional turmoil, the artist acknowledges that the journey is just beginning. The repeated line 'el juego no se acaba, sé que esto apenas empieza' (the game isn't over, I know this is just beginning) suggests a sense of hope and determination to move forward. The song ends on a note of self-empowerment, with Santa RM breaking barriers and silencing doubters, indicating that while the relationship may have been strange and challenging, it has also been a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery.
