Sentimientos De Cartón

Edgardo Nuñez's song 'Sentimientos De Cartón' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of loving someone who is emotionally unavailable. The lyrics poignantly describe the singer's experiences of enduring humiliations and being toyed with, highlighting a relationship where emotional manipulation is prevalent. The recurring theme of being hurt and then momentarily healed by shallow gestures like a kiss illustrates a cycle of emotional abuse that the singer finds difficult to escape.

The metaphor of the singer wishing to be a rag doll with button eyes, unable to see or feel, serves as a powerful image of wanting to be numb to the pain caused by the loved one's indifference. This imagery, coupled with the idea of having a 'Teflon memory' that nothing sticks to, underscores a deep desire to forget the pain and shield oneself from further emotional damage. The title itself, 'Sentimientos De Cartón,' which translates to 'Cardboard Feelings,' suggests the fragility and superficiality of the emotions offered by the lover, likening them to something disposable and easily damaged.

The song also touches on a poignant realization that the person he loves is akin to a mannequin, beautiful yet hollow and incapable of reciprocating genuine affection. This realization brings a sense of despair, encapsulated in the line about God making a 'small mistake' by not giving the person a heart. This line not only emphasizes the singer's heartbreak but also his lingering affection for someone who cannot love him back, highlighting the complex emotions involved in unrequited love.
