Casi Las 7

DrefQuila's song "Casi Las 7" delves into the emotional turmoil of a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has gone awry, where the protagonist feels trapped and constantly ends up hurt. The recurring line, "No sé si soy tu esclavo pero siempre acabo mal" (I don't know if I'm your slave, but I always end up bad), underscores the sense of entrapment and the cyclical nature of the pain he experiences. This metaphor of being a slave highlights the power imbalance and emotional manipulation present in the relationship.

The imagery of the phrase "Se borró en la arena él te amo, pero no fue culpa del mar" (The 'I love you' written in the sand was erased, but it wasn't the sea's fault) suggests that the love they once shared has faded, not due to external forces but because of the inherent issues within the relationship. This metaphor emphasizes the fragility and impermanence of their love, much like words written in the sand that are easily washed away.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reaches a breaking point, symbolized by the line "Me desperté gritando vete" (I woke up screaming leave). This moment of clarity leads to a resolve to reclaim self-respect and autonomy, as seen in the lines "Haré que mi cuenta se respete" (I will make my account be respected) and "Haré que mi mierda se respete" (I will make my shit be respected). The protagonist's journey from feeling like a toy in someone else's game to demanding respect and setting boundaries is a powerful narrative of self-empowerment and liberation.

The song also touches on the theme of moving on and finding peace, as the protagonist expresses a desire to leave the "zona oscura" (dark zone) and live life at a slower, more mindful pace. The reference to Goku without armor symbolizes shedding unnecessary burdens and embracing a lighter, more authentic self. Ultimately, "Casi Las 7" is a poignant exploration of the pain of toxic love and the strength it takes to break free and reclaim one's sense of self-worth.
