Cuéstion de Ángulo

Yusa's song 'Cuéstion de Ángulo' delves into the complexities of human relationships and the different perspectives that shape our interactions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a cat-and-mouse game, where the singer and the subject are constantly navigating around each other, each from their own vantage point. The opening lines, 'Si coges la calle / Me vas a encontrar del otro lado,' suggest a sense of inevitability and interconnectedness, as if no matter which path one takes, they are bound to encounter the other person. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the nuances of connection and distance.

The metaphor of the 'ratonera' or mousetrap is central to the song, symbolizing the traps and pitfalls that come with relationships. The lines 'En otra ratonera, juego de gato y ratón / Aunque no quieres te enreda / Y viceversa, la ratonera / Tú la trampa, yo... lacera' highlight the mutual entanglement and the pain that often accompanies these interactions. The use of 'lacera,' which means to wound or hurt, underscores the emotional stakes involved. This metaphor extends to the idea of routine and how it can become a trap in itself, as seen in the closing lines, 'Si cruzo esquivas, la trampa doblas, / doblas rutina.'

Yusa's musical style, which blends elements of jazz, trova, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, adds another layer of depth to the song. The intricate melodies and rhythms mirror the complexity of the lyrics, creating a rich tapestry of sound and meaning. The mention of 'la clave detrás del piano' and 'queso en reposo' adds a touch of surrealism, suggesting that the keys to understanding and navigating these relationships are hidden in plain sight, waiting to be discovered. The song ultimately invites listeners to consider how their own perspectives shape their experiences and interactions with others.
