Mejillas

In 'Mejillas,' sobresdylan delves into the raw emotions of heartbreak and unrequited love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the pain of seeing their beloved with someone else. The opening lines, 'Es de él ahora, a veces duele, a veces no,' set the tone for the emotional rollercoaster that follows. The protagonist uses a 'gallito' (a small joint) to escape the harsh reality of their broken heart, retreating into their room to process the pain. This act of self-isolation and introspection is a common coping mechanism for those dealing with intense emotional distress.

The chorus, 'Mirarte era mi parte favorita, lo que me entretenía los putos días,' highlights the deep affection and attachment the protagonist had for their beloved. The simple act of looking at their smile brought immense joy and meaning to their days. However, the painful realization that 'otro es dueño de tus mejillas' (another is the owner of your cheeks) underscores the sense of loss and betrayal. The cheeks, often a symbol of affection and intimacy, represent the physical and emotional closeness that has been transferred to someone else.

The song also touches on the theme of effort and disappointment. The lines 'Me duele pensar tanto, en las noches me gana el llanto, por haberme esmerado en gustarte' reflect the protagonist's regret and sorrow over their unreciprocated efforts to win their beloved's affection. The imagery of 'llega otro bato, en menos tiempo agarra el mando' (another guy comes, and in less time takes control) emphasizes the fleeting nature of love and the harsh reality that sometimes, despite one's best efforts, love remains unfulfilled. 'Mejillas' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the bittersweet memories that linger long after a relationship has ended.
