A Ciencia Cierta

Alex Ferreira's song 'A Ciencia Cierta' delves into the emotional turmoil and confusion that follows a sudden and unexplained breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person waking up to an empty space, symbolizing the abrupt departure of a loved one. The imagery of roses and pistachio ice cream in the corner adds a touch of everyday life, contrasting with the emotional void left behind. This juxtaposition highlights the dissonance between the external world continuing as usual and the internal chaos experienced by the narrator.

The repeated phrase 'Solo me has dejado' (You have only left me) underscores the sense of abandonment and the remnants of a relationship that linger in the narrator's mind. The mention of 'el polvo en la mesa' (dust on the table) and 'la mesa en la esquina' (the table in the corner) suggests a sense of neglect and the passage of time, emphasizing the stagnation felt after the loved one's departure. The narrator's longing is palpable, especially in the lines 'Las ganas de verte' (The desire to see you) and 'No encuentro mis manos en tus caderas' (I can't find my hands on your hips), which convey a deep sense of loss and yearning for physical and emotional connection.

The chorus, 'No sé lo que pasó a ciencia cierta' (I don't know what happened for sure), encapsulates the central theme of the song: the uncertainty and lack of closure that often accompany the end of a relationship. This uncertainty is a powerful emotional state, leaving the narrator in a limbo of unanswered questions and unresolved feelings. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the bewildering aftermath of a breakup, making 'A Ciencia Cierta' a poignant exploration of love and loss.
