Decime La Verdad

Guasones' song 'Decime La Verdad' delves into the emotional turmoil and introspection that follows the end of a significant relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a breakup, surrounded by the remnants of what once was. The imagery of 'fotos rotas' (broken photos) and a 'habitacion en llamas' (room in flames) symbolizes the destruction and chaos that often accompany the end of a relationship. Despite the pain, the narrator acknowledges that the end has come and that everything has changed irreversibly.

The song also explores the theme of disillusionment with the idea of eternal love. The line 'y vos q no dudabas de nuestra eternidad' (and you who did not doubt our eternity) reflects a sense of betrayal and the shattering of illusions. The narrator urges their former partner to look around and see that nothing is the same anymore. This realization is coupled with a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the narrator no longer finds the idea of walking on the balcony tempting, indicating a move away from despair.

Throughout the song, there is a plea for honesty and clarity amidst the confusion. The repeated request 'decime la verdad' (tell me the truth) underscores the need for closure and understanding. The narrator reflects on the lessons learned from the experience, acknowledging that life has taught them there is no more than one goodbye. In the end, they choose to toast to the love they once had, recognizing it as a 'estupida razon' (stupid reason) but also a significant part of their journey. This bittersweet acceptance marks the beginning of a new path, as the narrator starts to rebuild their life from the ashes of the past.
