Cenizas

In 'Cenizas,' Abanico delves into the complex emotions that accompany the end of a romantic relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'Ashes,' sets the tone for a narrative steeped in the remnants of a love that once burned brightly but has now been reduced to smoldering embers. The lyrics convey a sense of searching and longing, as the protagonist seeks someone to help them cope with the pain of loss. The repeated line, 'Quien iba a pensar que el amor, también dolia?' ('Who would have thought that love also hurts?'), underscores the unexpected and often overwhelming nature of heartache.

The song's verses reveal a struggle with acceptance and the difficulty of moving on. The protagonist admits to pretending to be okay, yet confesses they are not ready to let go. The metaphor of trying to extinguish the lingering feelings with ashes highlights the futility of their efforts. This imagery suggests that the remnants of the past relationship continue to haunt them, making it impossible to fully move forward. The line 'Yo crei que era fuerte pero no lo soy' ('I thought I was strong, but I'm not') further emphasizes the vulnerability and emotional turmoil experienced in the wake of a breakup.

'Cenizas' also touches on the cyclical nature of love and loss. The lyrics mention falling and rising again, hinting at the resilience required to navigate the ups and downs of relationships. Despite the pain, there is an underlying message of hope and the possibility of healing. The song captures the universal experience of heartbreak, resonating with anyone who has ever struggled to let go of a past love. Abanico's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Cenizas' a powerful exploration of the enduring impact of love and loss.
