Empapelado

Charles Ans' song 'Empapelado' is a vivid portrayal of longing, escapism, and the bittersweet nature of love. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman, reminiscing about their last kiss and eagerly awaiting her arrival. The repeated line 'Por lo bien que te ves, que te ves, mami, cuando estoy empapelado' suggests that he finds her incredibly attractive, especially when he is in a state of altered consciousness, possibly hinting at the use of drugs or alcohol to cope with his emotions.

The imagery of 'bailando en la lluvia, un poco drogado' (dancing in the rain, a little high) evokes a sense of freedom and abandon, yet also hints at a deeper sadness and a need to escape reality. The protagonist's friends play a crucial role in his life, as they take care of him when he is unable to take care of himself. This camaraderie and support system highlight the importance of friendship in dealing with personal struggles and emotional turmoil.

The song also touches on themes of uncertainty and anticipation. The protagonist is waiting for the woman to arrive, and his mind is filled with thoughts of her. He imagines her remembering every detail of their time together, from his clumsy dancing to their shared moments of passion. This anticipation and the vivid memories of their past encounters create a sense of longing and desire that permeates the entire song. Charles Ans' lyrical style, characterized by its raw honesty and emotional depth, makes 'Empapelado' a relatable and poignant exploration of love, longing, and the ways we cope with our feelings.
