Puñales

In 'Puñales,' Lia Kali delves deep into the emotional turmoil and the process of healing from past traumas. The song opens with a powerful declaration of letting go of her traumas, likening it to a requiem—a mass for the dead—and a pact to ensure they leave her. This metaphor sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the gravity and solemnity of her emotional journey. The repetition of the phrase 'Aquí es donde dejo que mueran mis traumas' underscores the importance of this act of release and the struggle it entails.

Lia Kali uses the imagery of 'puñales' or daggers to describe the external and internal pain she has faced. She admits to seeking external sources of pain to distract from her internal wounds, a common coping mechanism for many dealing with deep-seated trauma. The line 'Llevo años esquivándola' suggests a long history of avoiding these painful memories, highlighting the difficulty of confronting one's past. The struggle for control is a recurring theme, as she acknowledges the fear of losing control while also recognizing the necessity of facing her fears to heal.

The song also touches on the power of expression as a means of survival. Lia Kali sings about the need to express herself through verses, indicating that artistic expression is not just a passion but a lifeline. The line 'No ves que muero, si no es que hago esto' poignantly captures the idea that without this outlet, she feels as though she is dying. This sentiment is further reinforced by the repeated assertion that silence weakens her, making it clear that speaking out and creating art are essential to her well-being. The song is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggle to overcome trauma and the vital role of self-expression in that journey.
