Como roca

Hansel y Raul's song "Como roca" delves into the emotional turmoil and eventual resilience that follows a painful breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has given their all in a relationship, only to be met with cold indifference. The metaphor of the ex-partner being 'like a rock' underscores their unyielding and unresponsive nature, which leaves the protagonist feeling heartbroken and dejected. This emotional vulnerability is further highlighted by the admission of begging and crying, actions that the singer describes as cowardly, emphasizing the depth of their despair.

As the song progresses, there is a noticeable shift from sorrow to empowerment. The protagonist acknowledges the arrival of a new love, symbolizing a fresh start and the possibility of healing. Despite the lingering pain and the effort it takes to move on, there is a determination to revive their 'dead soul.' The lyrics suggest that time and forgetfulness have begun to heal the wounds left by the past relationship, although some remnants of the hurt still linger in their heart and mind.

The latter part of the song takes on a more defiant and celebratory tone. The protagonist asserts their ability to forget the ex-partner and even wishes them well, albeit with a hint of spiteful humor. The repeated phrase 'Tú verás que yo' (You will see that I) serves as a powerful declaration of independence and self-worth. The song concludes with a playful yet confident assertion of the protagonist's renewed strength and attractiveness, likening themselves to a bear that becomes more charming with age. This transformation from heartbreak to self-assuredness encapsulates the universal journey of overcoming emotional pain and emerging stronger on the other side.
