Dejando Libre el Amor

The song 'Dejando Libre el Amor' by the Chilean rock band Chancho En Piedra is a poignant exploration of the emotions that follow a painful breakup. The lyrics convey a deep sense of loss and longing, as the protagonist reflects on the departure of a loved one. The gray morning mentioned in the opening line sets a somber mood, indicating that the separation has left a void in the singer's life. The mention of a dress bought for the loved one, which will never be worn again, symbolizes the unfulfilled plans and dreams that the relationship held.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the internal conflict faced by the protagonist. The repeated line 'Con sólo ver tu color con sólo acariciar tu sabor' suggests that even the slightest reminder of the former partner reignites feelings of love, which are both cherished and painful. This duality is further emphasized by the comparison of love to roses, which are beautiful but can also cause harm with their thorns. The act of 'dejando libre el amor' or 'letting love go free' is a metaphor for the difficult process of moving on and releasing the attachment to the past relationship.

The song also touches on themes of addiction and vulnerability, as the protagonist admits to being trapped by the situation and feeling sensitive despite appearing tough. The invisible ink metaphor implies that the story of the relationship is fading away, just as the feelings must eventually fade. The resolution to act without fear and let love go free is a powerful statement of self-liberation and the courage to heal and move forward after heartbreak.
