Teardrop
Jos?? Gonz??lez Lyrics

In the song "Teardrop" by Jos?? Gonz??lez, the lyrics explore the many elements of love, both positive and negative. The repetition of the phrase, "Love is a verb, love is a doing word," emphasizes that love is not just an emotion, but also a conscious choice and action. The subsequent lines, "Feathers on my breath, gentle impulsion, shakes me makes me lighter," suggest the lightness and ease that love can bring to one's life, as if someone's breath is light as a feather, and the feeling of being propelled forward with gentle force.

However, the chorus introduces a different, darker side of love with the image of a "teardrop on the fire of a confession." This line speaks to the idea that sometimes love can be painful and confessional, with the image of tears on a fire symbolizing the intensity of emotional expression. The second verse continues with a contrasting image of "black flowers" and the continued reference to feathers on the singer's breath. Here, the "black flowers" are a reminder that, just like in life, even in the midst of beauty, there can be darkness, but the feathers on the breath suggest that the love itself can still help buoy the spirit.

The final verse brings in a new, more personal element with the line, "Water is my eye, most faithful mirror." This line is a reference to the power of love to reflect and reveal one's own true self, as if the singer is saying that love helps them see more clearly. The repetition of the earlier chorus reinforces the conflict and complexity of love, ending with the line, "You're stumbling into all," as if implying that love is something we have to navigate and work through in order to find real meaning.
