Las Cosas Se Olvidan

Cruks En Karnak's song 'Las Cosas Se Olvidan' delves into the bittersweet reality of how memories and promises can fade over time. The lyrics reflect on the inexplicable process of forgetting significant moments, such as the first glance shared between lovers and the dreams they once built together. The singer expresses a sense of bewilderment and sorrow over how these once-vivid memories have slipped away, leaving behind a void that is hard to comprehend. This theme is encapsulated in the recurring line, 'no sé porque las cosas se olvidan,' which translates to 'I don't know why things are forgotten.'

The song also touches on the emotional aftermath of these forgotten moments. The lyrics mention 'promesas desvanecidas' (vanished promises) and 'lágrimas borran tantas heridas' (tears erase so many wounds), suggesting that while time may heal, it also erases. The emotional weight of lost dreams and separated paths is palpable, as the singer questions where their shared secrets and stories have gone. This sense of loss is further emphasized by the haunting refrain, 'se olvidan, se olvidan no para la vida,' meaning 'they are forgotten, not for life,' indicating that while life goes on, these memories do not.

In the final verses, the song hints at a lingering presence of the past, with lines like 'Hay un lugar... donde sigue sonando tu voz' (There is a place... where your voice still sounds). This suggests that while memories may fade, they are never entirely lost; they exist in some form, even if they are not easily accessible. The song captures the complex interplay between memory, time, and emotion, making it a poignant reflection on the human experience of loss and forgetting.
