Simulacro (feat. Lucas Dangond)

Elder Dayán Díaz's song 'Simulacro,' featuring Lucas Dangond, delves deep into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past love. The title 'Simulacro,' which translates to 'drill' or 'simulation,' metaphorically represents the singer's attempts to practice or simulate life without his beloved, to see if it's possible to truly let go. The lyrics poignantly describe his efforts to 'bury' and 'mourn' the love he once had, hoping to cleanse his soul of this deep-seated affection.

The song uses vivid imagery and metaphors to express the pain and difficulty of erasing someone from one's heart. Phrases like 'burning your past' and 'swallowing your ashes' suggest a desperate and almost ritualistic attempt to purge memories and feelings. Despite these efforts, the singer admits the futility of his attempts, as the love he is trying to forget returns 'with the breeze,' indicating how emotions and memories can be rekindled by the slightest trigger.

The recurring theme of the song is the struggle between the desire to move on and the inability to do so. The singer's repeated confessions of 'I can't manage to forget you' and 'I don't know who I am at times' reflect a deep identity crisis and emotional dependency on the past relationship. This internal conflict is further highlighted by the contrast between the public facade of a 'five-star funeral' and the private reality of feeling unloved and unable to let go.
