Lo Echamos A Suerte
Ella Baila Sola
The Struggle of Fading Love in 'Lo Echamos A Suerte'
Ella Baila Sola's song 'Lo Echamos A Suerte' delves into the complexities of a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics poignantly describe the narrator's realization that the excitement and passion that once defined their relationship have faded. The metaphor of 'a worm in the stomach' not dancing anymore when hearing their partner's voice symbolizes the loss of butterflies or excitement. This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the narrator questions why they no longer feel the need to dress up or make an effort for their partner.
The song explores the theme of routine overpowering romance. The narrator reflects on how their life has become monotonous, mirroring the lives of others, and how this sameness has eroded the uniqueness of their relationship. The repeated line 'Será que la rutina ha sido más, más fuerte?' (Could it be that the routine has been stronger?) underscores the idea that the daily grind has overshadowed the initial thrill and desire. The struggle to communicate these feelings to their partner is evident, as the narrator contemplates whether to endure the situation a bit longer or leave it to chance ('lo echamos a suertes').
The chorus, '¡Lo echamos a suertes!' (Let's leave it to chance!), highlights the indecision and fear of confrontation. It suggests a sense of resignation and helplessness, as if the narrator is willing to let fate decide the future of their relationship rather than face the difficult conversation. This song captures the emotional turmoil of realizing that a once-vibrant relationship has become stagnant and the internal conflict of whether to fight for it or let it go.
