In 'Vida Truncada,' Calibre 50 delves into the raw and unfiltered emotions of a person grappling with the aftermath of a devastating breakup. The song's title, which translates to 'Truncated Life,' sets the tone for the narrative of a life abruptly and painfully altered by the end of a significant relationship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of betrayal and sorrow, as the protagonist struggles to come to terms with the loss of love and the impact it has had on their life.

The song opens with the protagonist's decision to leave in an attempt to forget the 'ingrata' or ungrateful person who has shattered their life.
