Desamortil

Arnau Griso's song "Desamortil" offers a humorous and light-hearted take on dealing with heartbreak. The song is structured as a mock medical consultation, where the doctor diagnoses the patient with a 'cardiopathy by sentiment,' essentially a broken heart. The doctor then prescribes 'Desamortil,' a fictional medication designed to help mend a broken heart. This 'medication' is a metaphor for various activities and indulgences that can help someone move on from a painful breakup.

The lyrics suggest a variety of remedies, including alcohol, chocolate, socializing in bars, watching Netflix, engaging in sports, and traveling. These activities are presented as a way to distract oneself and find joy in life again. The song also emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with friends and family, and even humorously suggests carpentry as a way to 'hammer out' the pain, playing on the Spanish saying 'un clavo saca otro clavo' (one nail drives out another).

The song also touches on the idea that time is the ultimate healer. It advises against dwelling on the past or stalking an ex on social media, as these actions can be traps that prevent healing. Instead, the song encourages embracing new experiences and finding happiness in the present. The repeated refrain about taking another dose of 'Desamortil' if one has a relapse into sadness underscores the idea that healing is a process that may require ongoing effort and self-care.

"Desamortil" is a playful yet insightful commentary on the universal experience of heartbreak. It combines humor with practical advice, making it a relatable and uplifting anthem for anyone going through a tough breakup.
