“Dicen” is Cristian Castro’s dramatic confession of a love that everyone else labels toxic, yet the singer still can’t shake it off. Friends warn him that her eyes are a “conjuro,” that loving her is as risky as drinking lethal poison, and that plenty of other fish swim in the sea. Even so, he feels his body “arde por fuera y por dentro” – burning inside and out – every time he thinks of her. The chorus hammers in those outside voices (“dicen…”) telling him a broken heart can heal with time, but right now he’s trapped in a one-sided war he keeps losing.
Through vivid images of shadows, blindness, and a battlefield of emotions, the song paints the universal struggle between logic and desire. “Dicen” reminds us how hard it is to follow good advice when love turns into obsession: you know the relationship is self-destructive, yet your heart keeps fighting for it. Cristian Castro wraps that inner conflict in soaring vocals and heartfelt melodies, turning a personal heartbreak into an anthem for anyone who has ever tried – and failed – to let go of a love that hurts.
