Amor Artificial

In 'Amor Artificial,' Virlán García delves into the complexities and disillusionments of a failing relationship. The song opens with the protagonist acknowledging that their partner is leaving, unable to express their true feelings and on the verge of tears. This sets the tone for a narrative filled with emotional turmoil and the realization that their love has become artificial, damaging both their minds and the protagonist's willpower.

The lyrics poignantly describe the wasted kisses and time invested in a relationship that has left both parties feeling 'jodidos' or screwed. The protagonist reflects on the futility of continuing in this state of unhappiness, highlighting the emotional toll it has taken. The use of the term 'amor artificial' serves as a powerful metaphor for a love that is no longer genuine, a facade that has caused more harm than good.

García's raw and honest portrayal of the relationship's decline is further emphasized when the protagonist is insulted and told to change, to become a man rather than a drunkard. This moment of confrontation leads to a turning point where the protagonist, who once begged for their partner's love, now decides to end the relationship. The song concludes with a sense of liberation, albeit tinged with sadness, as the protagonist acknowledges that they no longer deserve to be with their partner. This emotional journey is a testament to García's ability to capture the complexities of love and heartbreak in his music.
