A Heart Full of Scars: The Selfless Warning in 'Cicatrices'

La Unica Tropical's song 'Cicatrices' is a poignant narrative of self-awareness and self-sacrifice. The lyrics are a heartfelt plea from the protagonist, urging their lover to leave before they get hurt. The singer acknowledges their own flaws and the potential harm they could cause, emphasizing that they are not what they seem. This self-awareness is a rare and selfless act, as the protagonist is willing to let go of their lover for the latter's well-being.

The song's title, 'Cicatrices,' which translates to 'Scars,' is a powerful metaphor for the emotional wounds that the protagonist fears they will inflict. The repeated warnings to 'stay away' and 'don't kiss me' highlight the internal struggle of someone who feels unworthy of love and is deeply aware of their own capacity to cause pain. This internal conflict is a central theme, as the protagonist grapples with their desire to protect their lover from the inevitable heartbreak they believe they will cause.

'Cicatrices' also touches on themes of self-worth and the fear of intimacy. The protagonist's insistence that another love could provide what they cannot suggests a deep-seated belief in their own inadequacy. This is a common human experience, where individuals push others away out of fear of causing harm or being unable to meet their expectations. The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the tender yet sorrowful tone, making it a relatable and moving piece for anyone who has ever felt unworthy of love or feared hurting someone they care about.
