Segundo Asalto

Love of Lesbian's song 'Segundo Asalto' delves into the complexities of a strained relationship, using the metaphor of a boxing match to illustrate the emotional battle between two individuals. The 'long January' and 'damned snow' set a cold, desolate scene, symbolizing the frosty silence and emotional distance that has settled between them. The protagonist decides to break this silence, using harsh words that 'machine-gun' the other person's interior, shattering the icy barrier that has formed between them.

The chorus, 'Ya empezó el segundo asalto,' signifies the beginning of the second round of their ongoing conflict. The protagonist is prepared for the 'great impact,' urging the other person to 'hit well, do it well.' This line suggests a readiness to face the emotional blows and confront the issues head-on. The song also touches on the paradox of rejecting help from those who care, highlighting the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of accepting support when one is in pain.

As the song progresses, the protagonist acknowledges the falsehood of the other person's 'reign' and their own role as a source of discomfort. The line 'if we don't do something, the ice will last a thousand years' underscores the urgency of resolving their issues before they become insurmountable. The final verses reveal a sense of defeat, as the other person wins the second round without even lifting a finger, emphasizing the power dynamics and emotional distance that have grown between them. The repeated question, 'Have you understood it well?' serves as a poignant reminder of the communication breakdown that lies at the heart of their conflict.
