MADRID, Spain, October 25, 2026. Fairy tales are full of frozen hearts: queens who cannot feel, princes turned to ice, kingdoms locked in winter. Mike Sain't Louis, the Madrid-based lyricist, composer and music producer behind GAYFOLK and Planeta Gayfolk, borrows that imagery for one of the most dramatic songs in his catalogue. «El narcisista» describes a partner whose heart is «congelado», frozen, and the exhausting attempt to thaw it.
The opening paradox
The song begins with a sentence that sounds impossible: «El narcisista odia a quien le ama», the narcissist hates whoever loves him. It is a paradox that many survivors of emotional abuse recognise. The more they gave, the more contempt they received. Love, in that dynamic, becomes a provocation rather than a gift. The next line closes the door entirely: he never loved you, never cared for you.
A flamethrower and the word frozen
Then comes the image that gives the song its comic and tragic energy. «Lo has intentado hasta con un lanzallamas», you have even tried with a flamethrower. The exaggeration is pure camp: a domestic relationship described in the language of action films. And yet it is still not enough, because the heart is «frozen», a word the lyric borrows in English and stretches across several beats, «frozeeeen», as if the ice itself were spreading.
The use of an English word in the middle of a Spanish chorus is typical of Mike Sain't Louis. It adds a touch of musical theatre, a nod to the famous animated films about frozen kingdoms, and it makes the chorus instantly memorable even for listeners who do not speak Spanish.
The smear campaign
The verses turn to what happens after the relationship collapses. The former partner has told colleagues that the narrator is false and should not be listened to, even mentioning that he sees a psychologist, as if that were proof of something. Many people who leave manipulative relationships face exactly this: a story told about them, before they have the chance to tell their own.
But the narcissist, the song warns, did not count on one thing. «Y es que este musical se va a hacer famoso», this musical is going to become famous. The song, in other words, is the answer to the smear. Art becomes the place where the other version of the story can be heard.
The real truth
The most important line may be the one about truth itself. The narrator is desperate for «toda la verdad» to come out, but he specifies: «la verdad real», the real truth, «no esa versión de la historia que te has inventado», not the version of the story you invented. Survivors often speak of competing narratives, of having to defend reality itself. The lyric captures that struggle in one phrase.
Not an artist, a threat
Another striking line says that the narcissist never saw him as an artist but as a «terrorista». The rhyme is funny, but the idea is serious: creative people who express their pain are often seen as dangerous by those who prefer silence. Writing about what happened becomes, in the eyes of the abuser, an act of aggression.
Thawing yourself
The song does not end with the heart melting. That is its quiet lesson. Some hearts do not thaw, no matter how much fire you bring. The only warmth you can guarantee is the one you give yourself once you stop trying. If you are struggling to leave or recover from such a relationship, seek support: in Spain the 024 line offers free help around the clock, and in other countries crisis lines and abuse support services, including LGBTQ+ specific ones, are available. Mike shares his own treatment openly to show that recovery is possible.
