Cicatriz

Kudai's song 'Cicatriz' delves into the emotional turmoil and silent suffering of a young girl who feels trapped in her own world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her morning routine, starting at seven in the morning, where she is unresponsive despite her mother’s attempts to wake her. This imagery sets the stage for a deeper exploration of her internal struggles, symbolized by the 'shadows' that slowly awaken her. The repetition of the time 'seven in the morning' emphasizes the monotony and the weight of her daily life, suggesting a sense of hopelessness and routine despair.

The chorus reveals her intense desire to express her pain, as she wants to scream and cry but feels left behind and unheard. This sense of isolation is palpable, as no one seems to notice or understand her suffering. The recurring line 'se está quedando atrás' (she is falling behind) underscores her feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward, highlighting the emotional paralysis that often accompanies deep psychological distress.

In the second verse, the song touches on her attempts to forget her 'ghosts' or past traumas that refuse to disappear. The mention of 'cicatrices' (scars) serves as a powerful metaphor for the lasting impact of her emotional wounds. These scars are not just physical but deeply emotional, representing the enduring pain that she carries with her. The song's repetitive structure and haunting melody amplify the sense of ongoing struggle and the difficulty of healing from such profound hurt. Kudai, known for their emotive and often melancholic style, effectively captures the essence of adolescent angst and the silent battles many face, making 'Cicatriz' a poignant reflection on pain and resilience.
