Juegos Incompletos

The song 'Juegos Incompletos' by Virus delves into the complexities and frustrations of a romantic relationship that feels more like a game than a genuine connection. The lyrics describe a cycle of interaction where one person smiles and observes, only to leave shortly after, creating a sense of inconsistency and emotional instability. This back-and-forth dynamic is likened to a game, where the other person is seen as a skilled player, possibly even on the verge of winning. However, this 'win' is not fulfilling; it’s a hollow victory that leaves the narrator feeling empty and unsatisfied.

The song further explores the characteristics of the person being addressed, describing them as boring, primitive, and transparent. These adjectives paint a picture of someone who lacks depth and complexity, making it difficult for the narrator to feel any strong emotions, not even resentment. This lack of emotional engagement highlights the superficial nature of their interactions, reinforcing the idea that their relationship is more of a game than a meaningful connection.

In the chorus, the narrator reflects on their own participation in this game. They acknowledge that they continue to play, placing their 'ficha' (game piece) in its place, but with a growing awareness of what they truly want. Despite the moments of fun and madness, there is an underlying sense of dissatisfaction. The 'juegos incompletos' (incomplete games) are draining their imagination and leaving them feeling unfulfilled. This metaphor of incomplete games serves as a powerful commentary on the emotional toll of engaging in relationships that lack genuine connection and depth.
