Ruta (feat. Color)

La Joaqui's song 'Ruta (feat. Color)' is a powerful anthem of resilience and healing. The lyrics convey a journey of overcoming fear and pain, symbolized by the 'ruta' or route that the singer has traversed. The repeated lines 'Ya no siento miedo, ya no duele nada' (I no longer feel fear, nothing hurts anymore) and 'Pasé por esa ruta, estoy bien curada' (I went through that route, I am well healed) emphasize a sense of triumph over past struggles. The imagery of walking with the wind in her face, feeling strong and unshaken, further underscores her newfound strength and confidence.

The song delves into the emotional scars left by past experiences, likening them to battles fought and won. The lines 'Cicatrices en alto, Aprendizaje es mi mejor jugada' (Scars held high, learning is my best move) suggest that the singer has embraced her scars as symbols of her growth and resilience. She acknowledges the pain she has endured, but also recognizes that it has made her stronger and more prepared for future challenges. This theme of empowerment is a central element of the song, resonating with anyone who has faced and overcome adversity.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics take a darker turn, exploring the complexities of love and the pain it can bring. The singer expresses a desire to escape the emotional turmoil caused by a toxic relationship, yet also reveals a deep, almost masochistic connection to her partner. The metaphor of falling in love with 'el Guasón' (the Joker) highlights the chaotic and destructive nature of the relationship. Despite the pain, there is a sense of acceptance and understanding that love, even when it hurts, is a powerful force. This duality of strength and vulnerability adds depth to the song, making it a poignant reflection on the human experience.
