Escalera Al Cielo

In 'Escalera Al Cielo,' Aranza delivers a powerful message about self-respect and the courage to leave a toxic relationship. The song's protagonist decides to leave their partner, hoping that this departure will make the partner appreciate what they had. The lyrics, 'Voy a dejarte para siempre siempre, a ver si aprendes a apreciar lo bueno,' reflect a sense of finality and a desire for the partner to recognize the value of genuine love and kindness.

The song delves into the emotional turmoil of being in a relationship where love is equated with torment. Aranza sings, 'Tu le llamas amor a dar tormento y a no entregarse toditito entero,' highlighting the partner's inability to fully commit and the pain this causes. In contrast, the protagonist describes their own approach to love as giving wholeheartedly and without reservations, 'En cambio yo me doy en un momento sin reservas tan solo porque quiero.' This juxtaposition underscores the fundamental incompatibility between the two individuals and the protagonist's realization that they deserve better.

The metaphor of building a 'stairway to heaven' symbolizes the protagonist's journey towards healing and liberation. By creating this 'escalera al cielo,' they aim to 'arrancar los muros del tormento,' or tear down the walls of torment that their partner calls love. This powerful imagery conveys a sense of empowerment and the determination to find peace and true happiness, free from the 'martirio' or martyrdom that the relationship has become. Aranza's emotive delivery and poignant lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever had to make the difficult decision to leave a harmful relationship in search of self-love and respect.
