Las Cruzadas

DLD's song 'Las Cruzadas' delves into the tumultuous nature of relationships, particularly focusing on the destructive power of pride and ego. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a stormy period, described as a 'vendaval,' that has been brewing for over a month. This storm symbolizes the emotional turmoil and conflict between two individuals who are unwilling to compromise. The mention of 'tu orgullo y mi dignidad' (your pride and my dignity) highlights the standoff between the two, where neither is willing to back down, leading to a breakdown in communication and understanding.

The chorus reflects a moment of self-realization and regret. The narrator admits to demanding things they never gave and acknowledges the broken promises as evidence of their own shortcomings. This introspection is a critical turning point, as it reveals the narrator's awareness of their role in the conflict. The repeated phrase 'Inconscientes, al querer volar caemos' (Unconscious, in wanting to fly we fall) serves as a metaphor for the lofty ambitions and desires that ultimately lead to their downfall, driven by ego and an unwillingness to yield.

The cyclical nature of the conflict is emphasized through the lines 'Viene y se va' (It comes and goes), suggesting a repetitive pattern of hope and disappointment. This cycle is fueled by the 'puto ego' (damn ego), which prevents resolution and perpetuates the struggle. The song's raw and honest lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the push and pull of a relationship marred by pride and stubbornness. DLD's 'Las Cruzadas' is a poignant reminder of the importance of humility and the dangers of letting ego dictate our actions in relationships.
