Como Se

Julieta Venegas' song 'Como Se' delves into the complexities of trust and communication within a relationship. The lyrics express a sense of doubt and uncertainty, as the narrator questions the authenticity of their partner's words and actions. This skepticism is evident from the very beginning, with lines like 'Como se si lo que dices es verdad' ('How do I know if what you say is true?'). The narrator feels a growing distance and a lack of transparency, which leads to a deeper emotional turmoil.

The song also touches on the idea of unspoken words and hidden feelings. Venegas sings about the discomfort of sensing that something is amiss, even when everything appears fine on the surface. The line 'algo queda sin decir' ('something remains unsaid') encapsulates this sentiment perfectly. This unspoken tension creates a barrier between the two individuals, making the relationship feel more complicated than it should be. The repeated questioning of 'Quien es que te vienes creyendo?' ('Who do you think you are?') highlights the frustration and confusion that arise from this lack of clarity.

In the chorus, Venegas emphasizes a sense of resignation and acceptance. The repeated phrase 'No importa ya' ('It doesn't matter anymore') suggests that the narrator has reached a point where they no longer care about the partner's reactions or memories. This resignation is a form of self-preservation, a way to cope with the emotional strain caused by the relationship's complexities. The song's repetitive structure and poignant lyrics create a powerful narrative about the challenges of maintaining trust and understanding in a relationship.
