Dalahia (feat. DeeJohend)

In 'Dalahia,' Métricas Frías, featuring DeeJohend, delves into the complexities of pain, memory, and personal growth. The song opens with a vivid and haunting image of a portrait painted with blood, symbolizing deep emotional scars and the rawness of past experiences. The artist juxtaposes this with a gesture of kindness—feeding stray dogs—highlighting the duality of human nature and the struggle between inner turmoil and outward actions. The mention of envy being insatiable, as advised by the artist's mother, underscores the societal pressures and the inevitable judgment one faces.

The lyrics further explore the theme of memory and its impact on the present. The metaphor of having a 'tumor in the memory' and 'cancer in the forgetfulness' poignantly illustrates the inescapable nature of past traumas and the difficulty of moving on. Writing becomes a therapeutic outlet for the artist, a way to manage the increasing problems and the 'eternal wait' in a 'prison of laments.' This prison metaphor suggests a state of emotional confinement, where unresolved issues and regrets linger.

The song also touches on themes of solitude and introspection. The artist describes an 'internal downpour' that affects not just himself but others around him, indicating a shared experience of sorrow. The act of planting ashes in a tree serves as a powerful metaphor for transformation and letting go. As the wind blows and the leaves fall, it symbolizes the release of past burdens and the hope for renewal. The desire to 'play like a child when no one is left' reflects a longing for innocence and simplicity, a return to a state of unburdened joy despite the complexities of adulthood.
