La Decicion

Ekhymosis' song 'La Decicion' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and eventual liberation that comes with a painful breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the sudden end of a relationship, feeling blindsided and left to pick up the pieces of a shattered heart. The opening lines, 'Nunca me dijeron que todo andaba mal, lo se / Y nunca fue mi culpa no quererlo averiguar,' suggest a sense of betrayal and confusion, as the protagonist was unaware of the underlying issues in the relationship and is now left to deal with the aftermath alone.

The chorus, 'Pero fue la decisión, no tuve nada, nada, nada que decir / Se fueron de mi vida asi y yo no lo puedo entender,' highlights the helplessness and lack of control the protagonist feels over the situation. The decision to end the relationship was made without their input, leaving them struggling to comprehend the sudden change. The passage of time is a recurring theme in the song, with lines like 'Pasan los segundos que parecen una eternidad' and 'Y pasan los años que me llevaran lejos de ti,' emphasizing the slow, painful process of moving on and the hope that time will eventually heal the wounds.

As the song progresses, the protagonist begins to find strength and resolve. The lines 'Solamente quedan los recuerdos en la vida, / Solamente queda una salida no la olvides' suggest that while memories of the past remain, there is only one way forward. The protagonist declares their determination to forget and move on, 'Para odiarte y borrarte de mi mente para siempre / Sin cadenas en mis manos, sin cadenas en mi alma,' signifying a powerful moment of liberation. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance and empowerment, as the protagonist acknowledges that life has given them little from the relationship, but they are ready to embrace their newfound freedom.
