Idealizar
Santy-P
The Pain of Idealization and the Journey to Self-Realization
Santy-P's song "Idealizar" delves into the emotional turmoil of idealizing a romantic partner and the subsequent disillusionment that follows. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of regret and self-awareness as the narrator acknowledges placing their partner on a pedestal, only to realize that this idealization was unfair and unrealistic. The opening lines, "Te puse tan alto y te quedo gigante / Porque era para mí, perdón por idealizarte," set the tone for the song, highlighting the narrator's realization that their expectations were too high and ultimately unattainable.
The song explores the complexities of love and the human tendency to project our desires and insecurities onto others. The narrator admits to blaming their partner for the relationship's failures, only to later recognize that both parties were simply trying to heal their own pain. This is poignantly expressed in the lines, "Acá no hay malo y bueno cuando se trata de amor / Solo somos personas tratando curar el dolor." The song also touches on the struggle to move on from a significant relationship, with the narrator oscillating between anger and longing, as seen in the lines, "Para tratar de olvidarte cambié mi amor por ira / Creí estar avanzando, pero estaba en huida."
As the song progresses, the narrator comes to terms with the end of the relationship and begins to focus on self-improvement and acceptance. The repeated refrain, "Mami entre acordes de tu cuerpo me acordé / Curvas de guitarra, no supe tocarte bien," serves as a metaphor for the narrator's realization that they were unable to truly understand and connect with their partner. The song concludes with a sense of closure and personal growth, as the narrator acknowledges their own faults and expresses a desire to let go of the past, encapsulated in the lines, "Hago esto para soltarte disfrutaste la canción / En mi cora no hay rencores, tampoco en cada renglón."
