Segundo Plato

The song "Segundo Plato" by Voz Veis delves into the emotional turmoil of being someone's second choice in a romantic relationship. The lyrics express the protagonist's frustration and resignation over being in love with someone who is committed to another person, who is described disparagingly as a 'patán' (a lout or a brute). The protagonist is tired of being the fallback option and is finally deciding to cut ties and move on from this unfulfilling situation.

The song uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the depth of the protagonist's feelings. Phrases like 'búscate otro idiota que te baje las estrellas' (find yourself another fool to bring down the stars for you) and 'consigue un animal que ni siquiera se de cuenta que es el segundo plato en esa mesa' (find a beast who doesn't even realize they're the second choice at that table) illustrate the protagonist's sense of worthlessness in the eyes of their beloved. The repeated 'ay ay ay' underscores the pain and the melancholic tone of the song.

"Segundo Plato" is not just a story of unrequited love, but also a declaration of self-respect and the decision to no longer settle for less. The protagonist is determined to break free from the sadness that has dominated their soul and to stop being the absurd claimant in a love story that has no happy ending for them. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt undervalued in a relationship and serves as an anthem for reclaiming one's self-worth.
