Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Ciego” by Reik
The song ‘Ciego’ by Reik, released in 2013-09-24, speaks to a deep and vulnerable kind of love. The lyrics tell a story of a person who is besotted with their beloved, and who would never have been able to find love or hope without them in their life. The protagonist describes being “ciego” (blinded or unaware) of their beloved’s true intentions, and how they give them a reason for living beyond their own feelings of loneliness and of existing without purpose. The narrator laments that their beloved has taken away their ability to love anyone else, yet they are still willing to wait for them in the hopes that one day they will return. The song speaks to deep feelings of devotion and of selfless love which is strong and pure enough to remain despite being constantly tested. The chorus suggests that they would even sacrifice their pride to have this love acknowledged, a willingness to continue to wait for their beloved’s return despite knowing deep down that it may never happen. It speaks to a willingness to remain devoted and loyal despite any of the hurt and pain of waiting, and of being separated from the one the protagonist loves the most.
