Canción de Amor Caducada

Melendi's "Canción De Amor Caducada" translates to "Expired Love Song," and the lyrics poignantly reflect the theme of a love that has grown old and weary. The song begins with a rejection of false hopes and the pain that comes with clinging to them. The singer expresses a desire to avoid delving into topics he doesn't fully understand or facing truths that elude him due to his age. There's a sense of weariness, of being tired of the same old struggles and the emotional toll they take.

The chorus reveals a metaphorical 'damaged vein' in the singer's heart, suggesting a love that is malfunctioning or no longer flowing as it should. This vein 'stalls' when he sees his love, indicating that his feelings are still strong, but perhaps the relationship is not what it once was. The love song he refers to is 'expired,' which could mean that the feelings or the relationship are outdated, no longer relevant, or unable to be revived. The imagery of a heart with 'scars' and 'stretch marks' from mixing sorrows with few joys paints a vivid picture of a heart that has endured much suffering.

The final verses delve deeper into the singer's emotional state, revealing a struggle with inner darkness and the inability to find solace. The repeated mention of the 'damaged vein' emphasizes the persistent pain and the sense of being stuck in a cycle of unrequited or problematic love. Melendi, known for his rock and pop styles with a touch of rumba and flamenco, often explores themes of love, life, and personal struggles in his music, and this song is a testament to his introspective and heartfelt songwriting.
