Cada Martes

División Minúscula's song 'Cada Martes' delves into the emotional turmoil and recurring struggles faced by the protagonist. The title, which translates to 'Every Tuesday,' suggests a cyclical pattern of waking up to confront melancholy and regret. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person haunted by their past mistakes, symbolized by the character Don Melancolia, who comes to visit every Tuesday. This person is caught in a loop of self-recrimination and societal judgment, feeling the coldness of life both literally and metaphorically.

The recurring line, 'esta vida, en casa neva cada día,' which means 'this life, at home it snows every day,' serves as a powerful metaphor for the emotional coldness and isolation the protagonist feels. Despite the harshness of their reality, there is a glimmer of self-awareness and defiance. The lyrics 'Fuiste mejor de lo que tu pudiste imaginar' ('You were better than you could imagine') and 'sabes que los dementes son ellos y no tu' ('you know that the crazy ones are them and not you') suggest a recognition of self-worth and a critique of societal norms that label the protagonist as the problem.

The song captures the essence of feeling trapped in a cycle of regret and societal judgment, yet it also hints at resilience and self-acceptance. The coldness described in the song is not just a physical sensation but an emotional state, reflecting the protagonist's internal struggle. The use of Tuesday as a recurring motif emphasizes the regularity and inevitability of these feelings, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced similar cycles of regret and self-doubt.
