Caught Between Love and Memory
In “Esclavo De Sus Besos,” Spanish pop star David Bisbal sings from the viewpoint of a man who adores his current partner yet remains shackled to the lingering taste of an old romance. Every slip of her name, every flash of her embrace, drags him back to a love that still pulses inside him and chips away at his confidence. He admits that while he stands in a new relationship, he cannot give himself completely because he is “slave to her kisses” and “prisoner to his fears.”
The chorus circles like a stubborn thought, underscoring the painful punto de inflexión—that critical tipping point where obsession with the past threatens to destroy the present. Bisbal’s soaring vocals and dramatic delivery capture the tug-of-war between desire and regret, reminding us that sometimes the hardest battle is not winning a new heart but freeing ourselves from the ghost of the one that came before.
