Por el miedo a equivocarnos

Maldita Nerea's song "Por el miedo a equivocarnos" delves into the complexities of a relationship that has deteriorated over time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who were once close but have grown apart due to misunderstandings and unfulfilled promises. The phrase "éramos distintos, imposibles" suggests that the relationship was doomed from the start, marked by differences and impossibilities. The singer reflects on how these differences have led to a sense of sadness and alienation, encapsulated in the line "empieza todo a hacerse triste, a quedar del otro lado." This sense of being on the other side, or disconnected, is a recurring theme throughout the song.

The chorus emphasizes the emotional void that has taken over their lives. Phrases like "noches sin arte" (nights without art) and "abrazos vacíos" (empty hugs) highlight the lack of emotional fulfillment and intimacy. The imagery of "hielo en los ojos" (ice in the eyes) and "miedo a encontrarse" (fear of meeting) further underscores the coldness and fear that have replaced the warmth and connection they once shared. The repetition of these phrases serves to emphasize the depth of their emotional desolation.

The song also explores the theme of regret and the fear of making mistakes. The line "solo es un infierno sostenido, por el miedo a equivocarnos" (it's just a sustained hell, because of the fear of making mistakes) captures the essence of their predicament. They are trapped in a cycle of pain and regret, unable to move forward because of their fear of making the same mistakes again. This fear has created a barrier between them, making it impossible to reconcile or find closure. The song ends on a poignant note, with the singer expressing a desire to move on but acknowledging the lasting impact of their shared experiences.
