Puntos Suspensivos

The song 'Puntos Suspensivos' by El Mariana is a poignant exploration of heartache and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The title itself, which translates to 'Ellipsis' or 'Suspension Points' in English, suggests a sense of continuation or an unfinished thought, which is reflective of the artist's feelings towards the ended relationship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of loss and the difficulty of letting go, using metaphors of drowning in a sea of doubts and a paper boat sinking to illustrate the overwhelming emotions the singer is experiencing.

El Mariana uses poetic language to express the pain of unrequited love and the scars left behind. References to the works of Pablo Neruda, a famous Chilean poet known for his passionate love poems, indicate the depth of the artist's feelings and the use of poetry as a means to cope with heartbreak. The juxtaposition of love once perceived as sweet now turning rotten, and the muse who has become a punishment, highlights the transformation of the relationship from something beautiful to something painful.

The song also touches on themes of self-blame and regret, as the artist reflects on their own actions and the realization that their heart's desires may have been too much. Despite the sorrow, there is a sense of self-empowerment and determination to heal, as indicated by the lines about writing until there are no hands left and finding completeness in the act of writing. The repeated lines about the heart's feelings being 'punto y aparte,' which means 'a new paragraph' or 'a separate matter,' suggest a desire to start anew, acknowledging that the heart's journey is distinct from the past relationship.
