Hice Todo Mal

Las Ligas Menores' song "Hice Todo Mal" delves into the complex emotions of regret, fear, and missed opportunities. The lyrics open with a vivid image of an impending storm, symbolizing a sense of foreboding and the calm before the chaos. This metaphor sets the stage for the introspective journey that follows, where the narrator reflects on their past actions and the consequences of their inaction. The repeated question, "¿Por qué me sonreís?" ("Why do you smile at me?") suggests a sense of confusion and perhaps a longing for understanding or forgiveness from someone significant.

The chorus, "Hice todo mal, pero están todos bien" ("I did everything wrong, but everyone is fine"), captures the essence of the song's theme. It speaks to the internal conflict of feeling responsible for one's mistakes while observing that others seem unaffected. This juxtaposition highlights the narrator's isolation and self-blame. The lines "Y por qué tanto miedo a perder / Si ni siquiera me arriesgué" ("And why so much fear of losing / If I didn't even take a risk") and "Si ni siquiera lo intenté" ("If I didn't even try") emphasize the paralyzing fear of failure that prevented the narrator from taking chances, leading to a life filled with regret.

The song also touches on the theme of unfulfilled dreams and desires. The question, "¿Qué es lo que impide que sueñes conmigo una vez?" ("What prevents you from dreaming of me once?") suggests a yearning for connection and the pain of being forgotten or overlooked. The repetition of the impending rain metaphor at the end of the song reinforces the cyclical nature of these emotions, as the narrator remains trapped in a state of regret and longing. Las Ligas Menores' melancholic yet introspective lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever grappled with the weight of their own choices and the fear of what might have been.
