Qué Va a Ser?

Los Mentirosos Melodramáticos' song 'Qué Va a Ser?' delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of the feelings of inadequacy and the painful decision to part ways. The repeated question '¿Qué va a ser?' (What will it be?) reflects the uncertainty and helplessness that often accompany the end of a significant relationship. The singer acknowledges that they can no longer give their partner what they deserve, highlighting a sense of self-awareness and resignation.

The song uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the distance and emotional disconnect between the partners. Phrases like 'Más lejos que la miércoles vivís' (You live farther than Wednesday) and 'Si mi sol hoy no va a salir' (If my sun won't rise today) paint a picture of a love that has grown cold and distant. The mention of a 'murciégalo' (a playful twist on 'murciélago,' meaning bat) flying out of the window and the partner being saved in the phone as 'el narigón' (the big-nosed one) add a touch of surrealism and personal detail, making the narrative more relatable and vivid.

The recurring theme of impossibility ('Pero es imposible') underscores the inevitability of the breakup. The singer repeatedly states that continuing the relationship is impossible, likening it to an act of self-deception ('amamantándome,' which can be interpreted as 'nurturing myself'). The song concludes with a bittersweet acceptance of the situation, urging to 'Soñemos con lo imposible' (Let's dream of the impossible), suggesting that while the relationship may be over, the dreams and memories will linger. This blend of melancholy and hope captures the complex emotions involved in letting go of a loved one.
