Deshielo

Malú Malú

Breaking Free from the Icy Chains of Love

Malú's song "Deshielo" delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has become a battlefield, where the protagonist has sacrificed her own well-being to support her partner. She describes burning the ropes that tied her partner to the ground, symbolizing her efforts to elevate him above all else, even above herself. This self-sacrifice is further emphasized as she becomes a trench in his war, a flag for him to follow, indicating her complete devotion and willingness to be his refuge.

However, the relationship is fraught with conflict and indecision, as highlighted by the metaphor of flying together only to crash because only his wings could sustain the flight. The protagonist finds herself caught in the middle of his internal battles, leading her to a state of emotional paralysis, or 'freezing.' The recurring theme of 'deshielo' (thawing) represents the inevitable dissolution of their relationship. Despite his pleas for her to forget her fears and save him from this 'fucking thaw,' she realizes that she cannot continue to drown in this toxic cycle.

The song's chorus is a powerful declaration of her decision to escape before everything melts away into nothingness, before their nights are flooded with unresolved issues. She acknowledges that their time is running out and that they must part ways to avoid further emotional drowning. The imagery of continents sinking into an inert ocean and the final thawing underscores the irreversible end of their relationship. Malú's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery capture the essence of a love that has reached its end, where the only option left is to run away and save oneself from the impending flood of emotions.
