Déjame Dormir (part. Carín León)
Codiciado
The Struggle of Love and Escape
In "Déjame Dormir," Codiciado, featuring Carín León, delves into the complexities of a strained relationship, where the protagonist grapples with feelings of exhaustion and disillusionment. The song opens with the narrator reflecting on the chaos of their life, marked by nights of heavy drinking and waking up in unfamiliar places. This paints a vivid picture of someone trying to escape their reality, perhaps using alcohol as a means to cope with the emotional turmoil they are experiencing.
The lyrics reveal a deep-seated conflict within the relationship, as the protagonist acknowledges their partner's distrust and their own role in the relationship's deterioration. The repeated phrase "Que no eras tú, era yo" ("It wasn't you, it was me") suggests a sense of responsibility and guilt. The narrator admits to being tired and frustrated, not with their partner, but with the relationship itself. This admission is a poignant moment of self-awareness, highlighting the internal struggle between wanting to stay and the desire to break free.
The song's chorus, with its plea to "cierra las cortinas, te pido, y me dejes dormir" ("close the curtains, I ask you, and let me sleep"), symbolizes a yearning for peace and respite from the emotional chaos. It reflects a desire to escape not just from the relationship, but from the self-inflicted pain and confusion. Codiciado and Carín León's collaboration brings a raw and honest portrayal of love's challenges, resonating with anyone who has felt trapped in a cycle of love and regret.
