Como Las Nueces

Alejandra Guzmán's song 'Como Las Nueces' delves into the emotional turmoil and the sense of impending breakdown that one experiences under immense pressure. The imagery of ships sounding in the background and the sound of footsteps like breaking glass sets a somber and tense atmosphere. This auditory metaphor suggests fragility and the imminent shattering of something delicate, possibly representing the singer's emotional state.

The recurring line 'Como las nueces, hago crack' (Like nuts, I crack) is a powerful metaphor for the breaking point. Just as nuts crack under pressure, the singer feels as though everything is about to fall apart. This line encapsulates the theme of vulnerability and the inevitability of reaching a breaking point when under constant strain. The sense of finality is emphasized with the phrase 'Todo parece terminar' (Everything seems to end), indicating a feeling of hopelessness and the end of endurance.

The lyrics also touch on the harsh realities of life, with references to 'trapos baratos en la basura' (cheap rags in the trash) and 'viejos zapatos' (old shoes), symbolizing the wear and tear of daily struggles. The mention of 'flores de tu pelo cada vez son más obscuras' (the flowers in your hair are getting darker) could signify the loss of innocence or beauty over time, as life’s hardships take their toll. Guzmán's raw and evocative lyrics paint a vivid picture of emotional exhaustion and the struggle to maintain sanity amidst chaos.
