En Mis Venas
Supersubmarina
The Emotional Tug-of-War Within
Supersubmarina's song "En Mis Venas" delves into the complex emotions of a tumultuous relationship, where feelings of love and pain circulate through the narrator's veins. The lyrics convey a sense of internal struggle, as the protagonist grapples with the intensity of their emotions, which seem to be etched into their very being. The imagery of sensations coursing through the veins and twisting arteries suggests a deep, visceral connection to these feelings, highlighting the physical and emotional toll of the relationship.
The song explores the idea of balance and imbalance, with the metaphor of a scale that weighs the good and the bad. The narrator reflects on how nothing seems to hold value, as the balance is constantly shifting, causing everything to hurt. This duality is further emphasized by the lines that describe damage on one side and goodness on the other, yet the person they are involved with never seems to be in the center, always causing some form of destruction. This suggests a relationship where the partner's actions are unpredictable and often harmful, leaving the narrator in a state of emotional turmoil.
The repeated notion of not being able to "coserme, reinventarme ni quererme" (sew myself up, reinvent myself, or love myself) underscores the narrator's struggle with self-identity and self-worth. The relationship has left them feeling disoriented and unable to heal or move forward. The song captures the raw and overwhelming nature of these emotions, portraying a vivid picture of love's complexities and the pain of trying to find equilibrium in a chaotic emotional landscape.
