Borrar

Hvnvbi's song 'Borrar' delves into the profound emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a significant relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the pain of loss and the desperate desire to erase the memories of a past love. The opening lines, 'Muerdo en silencio / Mirando a reojo si no estás ya,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the silent suffering and the constant, almost obsessive, awareness of the absence of the loved one. The repetition of phrases like 'Extinto de una vez' and 'Marchita de una vez' emphasizes the finality and the irreversible nature of the separation, which leaves the protagonist feeling desolate and abandoned.

The chorus, 'Y esperaré / Con mis manos atrás / Tu cruel piedad / Poder borrar,' captures the essence of the song's emotional struggle. The protagonist is in a state of waiting, hoping for some form of mercy that would allow them to erase the painful memories. This plea for 'cruel piedad' (cruel mercy) suggests a paradoxical desire for relief through the very thing that causes pain. The act of waiting with 'hands behind' signifies a sense of helplessness and resignation, as if the protagonist is bound by their own emotions and unable to move forward.

As the song progresses, the lyrics 'Pierdo mis recuerdos / Intento evitar el pensar que estás' and 'Quemo mis adentros / Pensando en qué será mejor' reveal the internal conflict and the futile attempts to forget. The imagery of burning insides and bleeding hands conveys the intense emotional and physical pain of trying to let go. The repeated line 'Sin ti yo' underscores the identity crisis and the feeling of incompleteness without the other person. The song concludes with a haunting repetition of 'Poder borrar,' leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved longing and the harsh reality that some memories cannot be erased, no matter how much one wishes for it.
