Como Duele

Feid's song 'Como Duele' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a broken relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the struggle to move on from a love that once was. The repetition of needing 'mil años' (a thousand years) to leave the love behind and the acknowledgment that 'millones de promesas' (millions of promises) will eventually be broken highlights the seemingly insurmountable task of overcoming heartache. This hyperbolic expression underscores the depth of the emotional wound and the difficulty of healing from such a profound loss.

The chorus, 'Como duele pero me siento feliz' (How it hurts but I feel happy), encapsulates the paradoxical nature of coping with pain. The protagonist seeks solace in alcohol, asking for another drink to numb the pain that 'ella no me deja vivir' (she doesn't let me live). This juxtaposition of pain and fleeting happiness through intoxication reflects a common coping mechanism for dealing with emotional distress. The temporary relief provided by alcohol is a metaphor for the fleeting moments of happiness that can be found even in the midst of suffering.

The verses further explore the aftermath of the breakup, with the protagonist lamenting the loss of communication ('De mi celular ya no salen más llamadas') and the collapse of what was once built together. The imagery of tears falling from the pencil as he writes ('Las lágrimas siguen cayendo de mi lápiz') signifies the cathartic yet painful process of expressing his emotions through writing. The song captures the essence of heartbreak, the struggle to move on, and the bittersweet moments of finding temporary relief in the midst of pain.
