Aprendi a Vivir

Intocables' song 'Aprendi a Vivir' is a poignant narrative of overcoming heartbreak and rediscovering oneself. The lyrics begin with the protagonist expressing the deep despair they felt when their love was unrequited. The line 'Me senti tan poca cosa que pense en morir' (I felt so worthless that I thought about dying) captures the intense emotional pain and sense of worthlessness that often accompanies rejection. This sets the stage for a story of transformation and resilience.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on the futility of dwelling on a love that was not reciprocated. The lyrics 'No quiero gastar mi vida pensando en ti' (I don't want to spend my life thinking about you) signify a pivotal moment of realization and decision to move on. This shift in perspective is further emphasized by the act of erasing all memories of the past love, symbolizing a clean break and a fresh start. The metaphor of erasing memories ('Borre de mi pensamiento todos tus recuerdos') highlights the conscious effort to let go and heal.

The chorus, 'Aprendi a vivir la vida a mi manera' (I learned to live life my way), encapsulates the essence of the song. It speaks to the empowerment and freedom that comes from reclaiming one's life and happiness. The protagonist finds joy and contentment in their newfound independence, as evidenced by the lines 'Nuevamente veo brillar la luz del dia' (I see the light of day shining again) and 'Hoy me siento feliz sin ti' (Today I feel happy without you). This journey from despair to self-empowerment is a universal theme that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of lost love and the triumph of personal growth.
