Antes de Verte

Rozalén's song 'Antes de Verte' delves into the emotional turmoil and vulnerability that comes with unspoken love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply infatuated but struggles to express their feelings. The repeated line 'Siempre me emborracho antes de verte' (I always get drunk before seeing you) serves as a metaphor for the overwhelming emotions that make the protagonist feel intoxicated, even without consuming alcohol. This metaphor highlights the intensity of their feelings and the anxiety that accompanies the anticipation of meeting their love interest.

The song also explores the theme of missed opportunities and the fear of losing a chance to express one's true feelings. The lines 'Te lo voy a decir antes de que sea tarde' (I will tell you before it's too late) and 'Es una oportunidad que no vendrá después' (It's an opportunity that won't come again) emphasize the urgency and the stakes involved. The protagonist is aware that their hesitation could lead to regret, yet they find themselves paralyzed by their emotions whenever they are face-to-face with the person they love.

Rozalén's soulful voice and heartfelt delivery add depth to the lyrics, making the listener feel the protagonist's internal struggle. The song captures the universal experience of loving someone from afar and the internal battle between the desire to confess and the fear of rejection. The repetition of phrases like 'Dímelo, dímelo' (Tell me, tell me) and 'Te lo diré, te lo diré' (I will tell you, I will tell you) further underscores the internal conflict and the longing for a resolution. 'Antes de Verte' is a poignant exploration of love, fear, and the human condition, resonating with anyone who has ever felt the weight of unspoken words.
