Vivir Así

In 'Vivir Así' by Entrelazados, the lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The song opens with the poignant admission that reason often betrays the singer, while the heart takes control. This sets the stage for a narrative where the protagonist is caught in a cycle of falling in love with those who do not reciprocate their feelings. The repeated heartbreak leads to a deep sense of sorrow, as expressed in the line, 'Y es por eso que mi alma llora' (And that's why my soul cries).

The chorus, 'Vivir así es morir de amor' (Living like this is dying of love), encapsulates the essence of the song. It portrays love as a double-edged sword, bringing both life and pain. The singer's soul is wounded by love, and they express a desire for no other life than one intertwined with the object of their affection, despite the melancholy it brings. This paradox highlights the intensity of their emotions and the depth of their longing.

The song also touches on the theme of unfulfilled desires and the pain of being in the friend zone. The singer describes themselves as a 'mendigo de sus besos' (beggar for their kisses) and laments being just a friend when they yearn for something more. This unfulfilled longing adds another layer of melancholy to the song, making it a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and desire. The recurring theme of melancholy underscores the emotional weight carried by the protagonist, making 'Vivir Así' a heartfelt and relatable ballad for anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love.
