The Capricious Heart: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Tulsa's song 'Ay' delves into the complexities of the human heart and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. The lyrics reflect a long-standing struggle to understand oneself and one's feelings, as the artist mentions writing the same song for years. This repetition symbolizes a quest for self-discovery and a deeper understanding of personal emotions, particularly those related to love and relationships.

The heart is depicted as volatile and capricious, highlighting its unpredictable nature. The artist follows the heart's whims blindly, only to find herself in a state of confusion and disillusionment. This journey is marked by intense living and a promise to follow one's desires, but it ultimately leads to questioning the worth of such blind devotion. The heart's indifference to the surrounding chaos and suffering further emphasizes its selfish and unpredictable nature.

The song also touches on broader social issues, such as violence and imposed suffering, suggesting that the heart's indifference can extend to societal problems. The repeated phrase 'a veces sí, a veces no' (sometimes yes, sometimes no) underscores the heart's inconsistency and the emotional rollercoaster it creates. Through this exploration, Tulsa captures the essence of human vulnerability and the constant battle between following one's heart and facing the harsh realities of life.
