Tus Ojos

Sticky M.A.'s song 'Tus Ojos' delves into the themes of perception, self-worth, and authenticity. The repeated line 'Yo no soy guapo, son tus ojos' (I'm not handsome, it's your eyes) suggests that beauty and attractiveness are subjective, influenced by the beholder's perspective. This line underscores the idea that the singer's appeal is not inherent but rather a reflection of how the other person sees him. This notion is further emphasized by the admiration for the other person's 'rostro asombroso' (amazing face), indicating a deep appreciation for their unique qualities.

The song also touches on themes of independence and self-reliance. Sticky M.A. mentions rejecting contracts and staying away from 'sapos' (toads), which can be interpreted as avoiding deceitful or untrustworthy people. This stance highlights a desire to maintain personal integrity and not be swayed by external influences, even if they come with lucrative offers. The artist's emphasis on counting his own bills and not needing validation from record labels ('todo' eso' sello' me quieren a mí, pero no me vendo') reinforces his commitment to authenticity and self-sufficiency.

Additionally, 'Tus Ojos' explores the dynamics of relationships and loyalty. The singer's plea to keep others away from his 'plato' (plate), 'chito' (money), and 'muchachos' (friends) suggests a protective stance over his personal life and close circle. This protective nature is juxtaposed with the vulnerability expressed in lines like 'En este mar, tú eres mi salvavidas' (In this sea, you are my lifeline), indicating that while he values independence, he also recognizes the importance of meaningful connections. The song's blend of admiration, self-assurance, and cautiousness paints a complex picture of modern relationships and personal values.
