Ausente

El Diario de Hank's song 'Ausente' delves into the complex emotions surrounding absence, self-discovery, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a city darkening, symbolizing the protagonist's internal struggle and sense of loss. The line 'verme perdido en ti, es casi igual que no saber' suggests a deep entanglement with someone or something, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the natural yet painful process of moving on from a significant relationship or phase in life.

The chorus, 'Celebro el triunfo de tu ausencia en la canción, pierdo el interés no es tan fácil ser distante entre tu y yo,' highlights the bittersweet victory of accepting someone's absence. The protagonist admits to losing interest and struggling to maintain distance, indicating a battle between letting go and holding on. The phrase 'me rendí' (I gave up) signifies a moment of surrender, acknowledging the difficulty of emotional detachment. The imagery of walking in furrows and diverting attention suggests a deliberate effort to avoid confronting these feelings directly.

As the song progresses, the lyrics 'El tiempo me enseño, a entender donde empiezo a buscar?, donde encuentro lo que fue' reflect a journey of self-discovery and understanding. The protagonist seeks a light that can move them, a metaphor for hope or inspiration that has been elusive. The return of calm and coldness, leaving a mark in the corner, symbolizes the lingering impact of past experiences. The song concludes with a poignant realization of the harm caused and the reluctance to embrace new illusions, encapsulating the ongoing struggle to find peace and closure.
