Delineador

Caramelos De Cianuro's song 'Delineador' delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of the emotional aftermath of a breakup, where both parties are left grappling with their pain and unresolved feelings. The opening lines, 'Ahora soy yo quien te dejo / Eso nos va a dejar parejos por una vez más,' set the stage for a narrative of mutual hurt and the futile attempts to balance the scales of emotional suffering.

The chorus, 'Hay una fuente que nunca se agota / Cuando me mientes de tus ojos brotan / Lagrimas de delineador,' uses vivid imagery to describe the endless flow of tears, likened to a never-ending fountain. The 'lagrimas de delineador' (eyeliner tears) symbolize the visible and raw expression of inner turmoil. This metaphor extends to the idea that silence might be a better option, as it avoids the continuous cycle of pain and deceit. The comparison of emotional pain to a 'violenta lluvia de lava' (violent rain of lava) further emphasizes the intensity and destructiveness of their feelings.

The song also touches on the confusion and disillusionment that often accompany the end of a relationship. Lines like 'No entiendo como no se pudooo... / Solo entre sabanas desnuuudos... / Nos llevábamos bieeen...' reflect a sense of bewilderment at how things fell apart despite moments of intimacy and connection. The repeated plea, 'Y si te vas... déjame atrás... / Que no pueda hacerte daño nunca mas...' underscores a desire for finality and the hope that separation will prevent further harm.

'Delineador' is a powerful portrayal of the emotional wreckage left in the wake of a failed relationship. It captures the essence of heartbreak, the struggle to understand what went wrong, and the painful process of letting go.
