Quién Lo Diría
Vanesa Martín
The Unexpected Journey of Love and Self-Discovery
Vanesa Martín's song 'Quién Lo Diría' delves into the unexpected and transformative nature of love. The lyrics reflect a journey of self-discovery and emotional awakening, where the protagonist initially distances themselves from their own heart, convinced that they are not capable of love. This self-imposed emotional exile is described as being 'a poison loaded with ice,' indicating a state of emotional numbness and self-protection.
As the song progresses, the protagonist experiences a profound shift. The line 'Se abrió la tierra y la locura se hizo guía' (The earth opened up and madness became the guide) suggests a moment of intense emotional upheaval that leads to a new understanding of love and life. This upheaval is not destructive but rather enlightening, guiding the protagonist towards a deeper connection with their own emotions and with another person. The imagery of seeing 'your soul through mine' signifies a deep, almost spiritual connection that transcends the physical realm.
The recurring question '¿Qué pasaría?' (What would happen?) reflects the protagonist's curiosity and wonder about the possibilities that this newfound love and emotional openness could bring. The song captures the essence of rediscovering one's capacity for love and the joy that comes with it. It speaks to the transformative power of love, which can break down emotional barriers and lead to a more fulfilling and authentic life. Vanesa Martín's emotive delivery and poetic lyrics make 'Quién Lo Diría' a poignant exploration of love's unexpected and life-changing journey.
