Cicatrices

Flor y Amor Joven's song 'Cicatrices' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a relationship marred by deceit and betrayal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has endured years of emotional neglect and dishonesty. The opening lines, 'Desde hace tiempo que he sentido tus engaños / Por tantos años tus desprecios aguante,' set the stage for a narrative of long-suffering and unreciprocated love. The protagonist reaches a breaking point, unable to continue pretending and enduring the disdain any longer.

The chorus, 'Si me quisieras si me amaras como dices / Nuestras heridas ya serian cicatrices,' is particularly poignant. It suggests that true love and genuine affection would have healed their wounds, turning them into scars—marks of past pain but no longer sources of suffering. However, the repeated lies and betrayals in the relationship prevent this healing process. The metaphor of scars versus open wounds is powerful, symbolizing the difference between enduring pain and moving past it.

Flor y Amor Joven's musical style, often characterized by heartfelt lyrics and emotive melodies, enhances the song's impact. The repetition of phrases like 'cuando me besas en tus besos hay mentiras hay traición' underscores the recurring nature of the deceit, making it clear that the relationship is built on a foundation of falsehoods. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of loving someone who doesn't truly reciprocate their feelings, highlighting the importance of honesty and mutual respect in any relationship.
