Dia Cero

La Ley's 'Dia Cero' is a poignant exploration of memory, identity, and the desire to start anew. The lyrics convey a sense of loss and disorientation, as the protagonist grapples with amnesia and the consequent detachment from their past. The song's title, which translates to 'Day Zero,' suggests a reset or a new beginning, emphasizing the theme of rebirth amidst confusion.

The opening lines of the song express a limited perception, restricted to what the protagonist can see and remember, which is nothing. This sets the tone for a narrative about someone who has lost their memory and, with it, their sense of self. The 'blind wound' mentioned in the song symbolizes the pain and emptiness that comes from not knowing one's own history. The protagonist feels lost, unable to look back at what was left behind, indicating a profound disconnection from their former life.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the protagonist is not interested in rediscovering their past. Strangers attempt to fill in the blanks, offering value judgments and emotional connections that the protagonist cannot relate to. The repeated act of 'blowing away the ashes of yesterday' signifies a deliberate choice to let go of the past and embrace the present without the burden of former experiences. 'Dia Cero' and its continuation 'tomorrow' represent an acceptance of the present moment and the possibilities it holds, free from the constraints of a forgotten history.
