Las Pequeñas Cosas

JotDog's song 'Las Pequeñas Cosas' delves into the emotional journey of moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has decided to leave behind a love that once seemed perfect but has now become a source of pain and disconnection. The protagonist reflects on how they have transformed themselves, even becoming an artist, to escape the memories of their former lover. This transformation signifies a personal evolution and a desire to find new, more fulfilling experiences.

The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of 'the little things' that once connected the couple. These small, intimate moments are no longer present, leading to a sense of disconnection and the realization that the relationship is no longer 'correct' or suitable. The protagonist acknowledges that they have no place to go, metaphorically speaking, as the relationship that once grounded them has lost its meaning. This sense of loss and the need to move on is poignantly captured in the repeated line, 'Ya no puedo más' (I can't take it anymore).

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist confronts their former lover, expressing regret for any hurt caused but also standing firm in their decision to leave. The lyrics suggest that the lover did something 'prohibido' (forbidden), which was the final straw. The protagonist's journey is one of self-discovery and empowerment, as they realize that staying in the relationship is a form of punishment. The song concludes with a sense of liberation, as the protagonist finds a new direction and leaves behind the 'perfect love' that turned out to be anything but.
