Cenizas

Malú's song 'Cenizas' is a poignant exploration of the end of a passionate relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that once burned brightly but has now turned to ashes. The imagery of the sky slipping through their hands and the map of lips fading away suggests a love that was once all-encompassing but has now disintegrated. The metaphor of a 'burnt tree' encapsulates the finality and destruction of the relationship, indicating that there is no hope for revival.

The song delves into the emotional aftermath of this breakup. Malú sings about the pain of losing her partner and the struggle to move on. The repeated line 'tengo el corazón hecho cenizas' (my heart is made of ashes) underscores the depth of her sorrow and the sense of irrevocable loss. Despite this, there is a sense of resilience as she acknowledges that she can survive on her own, even if it means enduring the 'hell' of knowing it's over.

'Cenizas' also touches on the theme of acceptance and well-wishing. Malú expresses a desire for her former lover to have a good life, even as she continues on her own path. This mature perspective adds a layer of complexity to the song, showing that while the pain is real and intense, there is also a recognition that life goes on. The promise to 'talk to destiny' if their paths cross again adds a touch of hope and closure, suggesting that while the love has ended, the memories and lessons from it will endure.
