Malas Costumbres

Ha*Ash's song 'Malas Costumbres' delves into the emotional journey of breaking free from a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has turned sour, filled with insincerity and cynicism. The opening lines, 'Flores para remediar es poco autentico / Besos para perdonar, te has vuelto cínico,' highlight the superficial attempts at reconciliation that have become meaningless. The protagonist recognizes the toxicity of the relationship and makes a decisive choice to leave, symbolized by the line, 'Por eso desde hoy me voy.' This marks the beginning of her journey towards self-rediscovery and healing.

The chorus emphasizes the transformative power of a single night of freedom, 'Una sola noche de trasnoche basta / Para volver ser la que antes fui.' This suggests that stepping away from the toxic relationship allows her to reconnect with her true self, free from the uncertainty and bad habits that the relationship had fostered. The metaphor of the relationship as a 'mala costumbre' or 'bad habit' underscores how it had become a detrimental routine, something she needed to break away from to regain her sense of self.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's resolve strengthens. She acknowledges that losing the toxic partner is not a loss but a gain, as it opens the door to finding everything she once dreamed of, 'Al perderte no me perderé / Encontraré todo lo que un día soñé.' This powerful declaration of self-worth and optimism for the future encapsulates the song's core message: the importance of leaving behind harmful relationships to rediscover and reclaim one's identity and happiness.
