Las de Octubre

Ingratax's song 'Las de Octubre' delves into the complex emotions of love, heartbreak, and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both cherished and painful. The singer expresses a deep sense of waiting and anticipation, likening themselves to a child waiting for a gift under a Christmas tree, even though it is not December. This metaphor highlights the innocence and hope that the singer still holds onto despite the repeated heartbreaks they have experienced.

The song's chorus reveals a profound sense of betrayal and mistrust. Despite outwardly smiling, the singer confesses that they no longer trust anyone except the person who has repeatedly broken their heart. This paradox of smiling while feeling broken inside underscores the emotional turmoil and vulnerability that the singer is experiencing. The relationship is described as fragile and easily broken, much like ice that burns and shatters easily. This imagery conveys the delicate and precarious nature of their love.

The references to 'las dos fotos, las de octubre' and messages expressing a desire to return add a layer of nostalgia and regret. The singer is caught in a cycle of wanting to reconnect with their lover while also recognizing the pain that comes with it. The plea for the lover not to call, but to answer if the singer calls, reflects the conflicted emotions of wanting to move on but being unable to let go completely. The song concludes with a poignant acknowledgment of the lies and deceit that have tainted the relationship, leaving a lasting impact on the singer's heart.
