Básicamente

Sebastián Yatra's song 'Básicamente' uses celestial metaphors to explore the complexities of a romantic relationship. The lyrics personify the Moon and a planet to represent the two individuals in the relationship. The Moon, feeling lonely and neglected, is advised by Venus that she deserves better. This sets the stage for a narrative about love, longing, and the gravitational pull that keeps the two lovers orbiting around each other despite the challenges they face.

The song delves into the emotional turmoil experienced by the Moon, who is constantly seeking the light and warmth of the planet. The lyrics 'Básicamente aquí estamos los dos, La Luna soy yo, el planeta eres tú' highlight the interdependence between the two celestial bodies. The Moon's need for the planet's light symbolizes the emotional support and validation she seeks from her partner. However, the relationship is fraught with difficulties, as indicated by lines like 'Es difícil cuando hay tanta gravedad,' suggesting that the emotional weight and complexities make it hard for them to be together.

Yatra also touches on the theme of unfulfilled expectations and the struggle to find balance. The Moon's realization that 'no somos tan diferentes' when she sees the planet among the stars signifies a moment of clarity and understanding. Yet, the recurring need for 'espacio' and the acknowledgment that 'ya lo intentamos y quedó vacío el espacio' reflect the ongoing struggle to maintain a healthy relationship. The song beautifully captures the push and pull of love, the desire for closeness, and the inevitable need for space, all set against the backdrop of a cosmic dance.
