Tesis (part. Zahara)

Love of Lesbian's song 'Tesis,' featuring Zahara, delves into the complexities of emotional detachment and the struggle to articulate feelings in a deteriorating relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has lost its spark, described as a 'chemical circumstance' and an 'insipid mixture' that leaves the protagonist feeling numb. The use of metaphors like 'erosion of mysticism' and 'a beast of a conclusion' highlights the profound sense of loss and the difficulty in expressing the desire to fix what is broken.

The chorus, 'De tanto que sé de ti, haré una tesis doctoral,' translates to 'From knowing so much about you, I will write a doctoral thesis,' suggesting that the relationship has become more of an academic study than a passionate connection. The protagonist feels trapped in a cycle of knowing too much yet feeling too little, leading to a 'torment without ecstasy' and a 'diploma in desertion.' This academic metaphor underscores the emotional exhaustion and the sense of futility in trying to revive the relationship.

The repeated lines, 'Ya lo sé, ahí está la puerta, y además, me la dejaste abierta,' meaning 'I know, there's the door, and you left it open for me,' signify the option to leave the relationship. However, the protagonist is paralyzed by indecision, unable to cry or feel anything significant. The existential questions, '¿Y si me da por caer? ¿O me da por saltar?' ('What if I fall? Or what if I jump?'), reflect a deep-seated apathy and a fear of the unknown. The song captures the essence of emotional numbness and the terrifying realization of feeling nothing, making it a poignant exploration of human relationships and the complexities of emotional disconnection.
