Es Imposible

“Es Imposible” by Sergio Y Estibaliz delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of an unattainable love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that, despite being impossible, continues to draw the narrator back. The recurring theme of impossibility is emphasized through the metaphor of the sun, representing something that is omnipresent and inescapable. Just as one cannot escape the sun, the narrator finds it impossible to escape this love, no matter how much they try to distance themselves from it.

The lyrics describe a daily routine where the narrator attempts to break free from the grip of this love. They mention looking at the time, finishing their coffee, and trying to escape the soft hands of their lover. However, despite these efforts, the pull of this love is too strong, and they find themselves returning to it. This cycle of trying to leave but always coming back highlights the internal conflict and the power of emotions that are difficult to control.

The song also touches on the consequences of this impossible love. The narrator acknowledges that their actions cause suffering to others, as they are often late or absent because of their entanglement in this love. The imagery of the night beginning at twelve and the familiar sound of a motor at eight when the sun sets further illustrates the clandestine and secretive nature of this relationship. The repeated assertion that it is impossible to escape this love underscores the inevitability and the deep emotional connection that binds the narrator, despite the impracticality and the pain it causes.
