Medalla de plata (part. Sebastian Llosa)

Veintiuno's song "Medalla de plata (feat. Sebastian Llosa)" delves into the complexities of love and the emotional turmoil that often accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship filled with uncertainty and longing. The protagonist finds themselves caught in a whirlwind of emotions, where their legs tremble and they pretend to have control, all while yearning for reassurance from their partner. The metaphor of being "gatos del mismo tejado" (cats on the same roof) suggests a shared but precarious situation, where both parties are navigating the same uncertain terrain.

The recurring theme of medals, with the protagonist awarding themselves a "medalla de plata en idiota" (silver medal in foolishness) and a "medalla de oro en quedarme a su lado" (gold medal in staying by their side), highlights the self-awareness of their own vulnerability and the irrationality of their actions. Despite knowing the potential for heartbreak, they choose to remain, driven by the hope of reciprocated feelings. The imagery of time suspended and hair tangled in fingers evokes moments of intimacy and connection, even as the protagonist grapples with the fear of rejection.

The song's chorus, "Dispara, dame de lleno" (Shoot, hit me full on), encapsulates the willingness to embrace the pain of love rather than live in ignorance. This line, repeated throughout the song, underscores the desire to experience the full spectrum of emotions, even if it means facing heartache. The protagonist's plea for their partner to "disparar de nuevo" (shoot again) and the acknowledgment of being "hasta los huesos" (to the bones) in love, further emphasize the depth of their feelings and the acceptance of vulnerability as an intrinsic part of love's journey.
