Ensenada

Pastilla's song 'Ensenada' delves into the emotional turmoil and regret experienced by the narrator. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of a relationship marred by mistakes and misunderstandings. The opening lines, 'Rasguñame, pellizcame, deskitate, que tu ya no supiste nada,' suggest a plea for physical pain as a way to cope with emotional numbness. The narrator feels abandoned and betrayed, as indicated by the line 'y te marchaste hasta Madrid a discutir y te perdiste en Ensenada,' which implies a sense of being left behind while the other person moves on to new experiences.

The recurring phrase 'Pobre de mi' (Poor me) underscores the narrator's self-pity and helplessness. This sentiment is further amplified by the admission of repeated lies, 'menti una vez y 2 y 3 y 4 y 6,' highlighting a cycle of deceit that has contributed to the relationship's downfall. The mention of 'tormentas' (storms) and offering them 'en frasco de agua' (in a bottle of water) symbolizes the futile attempts to contain and manage the emotional chaos.

The song takes a darker turn with the repeated line 'el diablo me llevara' (the devil will take me), suggesting a sense of impending doom and the narrator's belief that they are beyond redemption. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the internal demons and guilt that haunt the narrator, leading them to feel as though they are being dragged down by their own actions. Pastilla's musical style, often characterized by its raw and emotive delivery, enhances the song's themes of regret and self-destruction, making 'Ensenada' a poignant exploration of the consequences of one's actions in a relationship.
