Como duele

In 'Como duele,' Liberacion delves into the profound pain of unrequited love. The lyrics poignantly express the anguish of loving someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. The repeated phrase 'Si vieras como me duele' (If you saw how it hurts) underscores the depth of the protagonist's emotional suffering. This repetition emphasizes the intensity of the pain and the longing for the other person to understand the gravity of their feelings.

The song's narrative reveals a one-sided love where the protagonist feels like a mere 'juego de amor' (love game) or 'pasatiempo' (pastime) for the object of their affection. This metaphor highlights the disparity in emotional investment between the two individuals. The protagonist's love is genuine and deep, while the other person treats it as a casual, fleeting amusement. This stark contrast amplifies the sense of betrayal and heartache experienced by the protagonist.

Moreover, the lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and inevitability. Despite the awareness that the relationship is unbalanced and the likelihood of losing the loved one, the protagonist remains 'necio en querer' (stubborn in wanting). This stubbornness reflects the human tendency to cling to hope and desire, even when faced with the harsh reality of unreciprocated love. The song captures the universal theme of love's pain, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the torment of loving someone who does not love them back.
