Intento

Ulises Bueno's song 'Intento' is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a relationship that has ended due to the complexities and caprices of both partners. The lyrics convey a sense of loss and confusion, as the narrator reflects on the inability to move forward without the other person. The song begins with an admission that the breakup cannot be fully explained, and that both parties share the blame for being stubborn. This sets the tone for a narrative of mutual responsibility and the recognition of the role each played in the relationship's demise.

The metaphor of being lost in a labyrinth suggests a deep disorientation and the struggle to find a way out of the emotional turmoil caused by the breakup. The narrator's plea for a map indicates a desire for guidance or a solution to navigate the pain and uncertainty. The imagery of attempting to fly without wings and leaving things behind in the other person's bed speaks to the feeling of being grounded and haunted by the remnants of the relationship. The repeated lines about the wind bringing the melody from the other's house reinforce the idea that the emotional connection and memories are still present and affecting the narrator.

The song also touches on the transformation of the relationship, comparing it to water turning into ice, symbolizing the gradual emotional distancing and eventual emotional freeze between the partners. The use of the words 'salvajes y animales' (wild and animals) to describe their behavior towards each other highlights the intensity and perhaps destructive nature of their interactions. 'Intento' is a raw and honest portrayal of the difficulty in letting go and the enduring impact of a past love.
