My Love

The song 'My Love' by Guasones, an Argentine rock band known for their heartfelt lyrics and rock melodies, delves into the complexities of a troubled relationship and the longing for the passion that once was. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple caught in a cycle of conflict, likened to 'fighting like animals,' suggesting a raw and primal struggle within their partnership. The reference to 'lucha libre' (wrestling) and war further emphasizes the intensity of their disputes and the 'old routine that terrifies,' indicating a sense of fear and exhaustion from the constant battles.

The song's narrator expresses deep regret and a sense of loss, admitting that they never intended to cause harm. The repeated attempts to be present, yet feeling absent, highlight a disconnect between intention and action. The phrase 'eight springs in vain' suggests a significant passage of time, during which the relationship has deteriorated, and now requires a forceful effort to write 'with the pen between teeth, knife in hand,' symbolizing the painful and perhaps aggressive attempt to salvage what remains.

Despite the pain and the acknowledgment of the relationship's flaws, the chorus reveals a yearning to rekindle the initial spark of love. The narrator reminisces about a night of undeniable attraction and desire, indicating a moment when love was simple and unhesitant. This contrast between the past's pure emotion and the present's complicated pain underscores the song's central theme: the struggle to hold onto love amidst the hardships and the hope that the intensity of past emotions can be revived.
