Gafas Oscuras is a song by Colombian artist Shakira that delves into themes of emotional vulnerability, heartache, and the masks people wear to hide their true feelings. The title, which translates to 'Dark Glasses,' metaphorically represents the emotional barriers that people put up to conceal their pain and sorrow. Throughout the song, Shakira lyrically explores the idea of hiding one's sadness behind a facade of strength and stoicism. A particularly poignant moment in the song is when she describes the paradox of feeling visible and invisible at the same time, capturing the complexity of trying to maintain a brave front while suffering internally.
