cómo acaba

Elsa y Elmar's song 'cómo acaba' is a poignant exploration of the aftermath of a relationship and the journey towards self-healing and acceptance. The lyrics convey a deep sense of reflection and emotional growth, as the narrator acknowledges the pain and struggles experienced during the relationship. The opening lines, 'Siento mucho que ahora no estés bien / Pero juntos no era diferente,' set the tone for a narrative that is both regretful and resolute. The narrator admits to hiding their wounds to protect their partner, yet recognizes that their efforts were never enough to sustain the relationship.

The chorus, 'Si pudiera volverlo a hacer / No cambiaría nada / No me arrepiento de nada,' underscores a powerful message of acceptance and learning. Despite the hardships, the narrator would not change anything about their past, indicating a sense of peace with their experiences. This sentiment is further emphasized in the lines, 'Y si yo pudiera volverte a ver / Te abrazaría callada / Y voltearía la cara / Ya me sé cómo acaba,' where the narrator expresses a bittersweet understanding of the relationship's inevitable end.

As the song progresses, the narrator reveals their personal growth and newfound strength. 'Todo pasa y ahora estoy mejor / Me he cortado el pelo como nunca te gustó,' symbolizes a break from the past and a reclaiming of their identity. The repetition of 'Solo juegos me juega la mente' highlights the lingering thoughts and memories that still play tricks on the narrator's mind, but they remain steadfast in their resolve. The closing lines, 'Es la última cosa que te digo / La última canción que te escribo / Y te dejo ir / Y me dejo ir,' signify a final act of letting go, both of the partner and of the past, allowing for true healing and freedom.
