The Heart's Whisper: Navigating Love and Loneliness
Ekhymosis' song "Lo que dice el corazón" delves into the complex emotions surrounding love, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics open with a sense of finality, suggesting that a relationship has reached its end. The lines "Hasta aquí llegamos ya, pronto alguien más vendrá" indicate an acceptance that someone new will eventually come into the picture, without the need for explanations or questions. This sets the stage for a reflection on the past and the lessons learned from it, encapsulated in the phrase "el tiempo atrás pudo ser más, yo sé pronto aprenderás."
The recurring theme of sharing solitude, "A compartir tu soledad," highlights the paradox of feeling alone even when in a relationship. This sentiment is further emphasized by the suggestion to take a photo to remember the irreversible nature of love and its indelible impact. The lyrics acknowledge that love is something that cannot be easily forgotten, no matter how much one might want to. The repetition of the idea that the past could have been more, and the hope that one will soon learn from it, underscores the song's introspective nature.
As the song progresses, it explores the uncertainty of the future with lines like "quizás que allá sea peor, quizás que allá sea mejor." This duality reflects the heart's exhaustion from waiting and the desire to start anew. The closing lines, "quiero comenzar, volver a abrir algo en mí, dejar de respirar," convey a yearning for a fresh start and the willingness to let go of the past. Ekhymosis captures the bittersweet essence of moving on, balancing hope and melancholy in a way that resonates deeply with listeners.
