Clavos

In 'Clavos,' Lasso delves into the complexities of relationships formed out of shared pain and past heartbreaks. The song's title, which translates to 'Nails,' serves as a metaphor for the way people can become deeply embedded in each other's lives, often as a means of coping with their own emotional wounds. The lyrics paint a picture of two individuals who come together not out of pure love, but out of a mutual need to heal from their previous relationships. They are 'the storm before the calm,' indicating that their union is tumultuous and fraught with unresolved issues.

Lasso's poignant lyrics, 'Somos lo que queda, somos las cenizas' ('We are what remains, we are the ashes'), suggest that both individuals are remnants of their former selves, carrying the scars of their past. The line 'Lo que tenemos en común son las heridas' ('What we have in common are the wounds') underscores the idea that their connection is built on shared suffering. This is further emphasized by the repeated refrain, 'Somos clavos,' which can be interpreted as them being 'nails' driven into each other's lives, holding on to each other to fill the void left by their previous partners.

The song also touches on the idea of using new relationships to forget old ones, as expressed in the lines 'Yo quiero que olvidemos lo viejo con lo nuevo' ('I want us to forget the old with the new'). However, Lasso acknowledges the futility of this approach, as the emotional baggage from their past continues to affect their present. The repeated phrase 'Tú te estás clavando en mí, yo me estoy clavando en ti' ('You are nailing yourself into me, I am nailing myself into you') highlights the inevitable entanglement and the potential for further emotional harm. Ultimately, 'Clavos' is a raw and honest exploration of how people use relationships as a means of healing, even when it might lead to more pain.
