Loca

The song 'Loca' by Spanish artist babi delves into the emotional chaos and self-doubt experienced in the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and manipulation, where the protagonist is repeatedly assured of their partner's fidelity and love, only to be faced with the harsh reality of deceit. The repeated line 'Que no estaba loca' (I wasn't crazy) is a powerful assertion of sanity amidst the gaslighting and emotional abuse that often accompanies toxic relationships.

The song's narrative explores the internal conflict and the struggle to maintain self-worth when one's trust and loyalty are exploited. The artist describes the sacrifices made for the relationship, including the willingness to overlook friends' warnings and to put the partner's needs above their own. The mention of 'crisis' and 'mala praxis' (bad practice) suggests a deep emotional investment that was met with negligence and harm. The reference to 'una tésis sobre tu mala praxis' (a thesis on your bad practice) indicates a profound understanding of the partner's destructive behavior, hinting at the emotional labor invested in trying to make sense of the chaos.

The song also touches on the difficulty of moving on from such a damaging relationship. The lines about time being 'irrecuperable' (irrecoverable) and the fear of 'crossing wires' reflect the lasting impact of the experience. The struggle to embrace one's anger and to stop caring for someone who has caused so much pain is a common theme in songs about toxic love, and 'Loca' captures this sentiment with raw honesty and emotional depth.
