Plastilina

Usted Señalemelo's song 'Plastilina' delves into the fluid and often malleable nature of emotions and relationships, using vivid imagery and metaphors to convey its message. The lyrics begin with the protagonist expressing an inability to gather the 'parts that flow from my head' unless influenced by the presence of another, suggesting a deep emotional dependency or connection. This theme of dependency is further explored through the metaphor of not being able to 'fly in my sheets' if the other's pain permeates his dreams, indicating how deeply another person's emotions affect him.

The chorus of the song, repeated several times for emphasis, highlights the protagonist's admiration and love, stating 'Solo brillás, mi amor' (You alone shine, my love). This line, coupled with 'Mis inmensas fantasías son que brillemos los dos' (My immense fantasies are that we both shine), illustrates a longing for mutual recognition and fulfillment in the relationship. The use of 'shine' suggests a desire for both individuals to find happiness and perhaps heal together.

The title 'Plastilina', which means 'Plasticine' in English, symbolizes something that is easily shaped or influenced. This could be a reflection on the nature of personal identity or the dynamics within relationships, which can be easily molded by external emotions and situations. The imagery of something melting onto the floor encapsulates the sometimes fragile and transient nature of emotional states and relationships, highlighting the delicate balance required to maintain them.
