Platicamos (feat. Leon Leiden)

Pol Granch's song 'Platicamos,' featuring Leon Leiden, delves into the painful aftermath of a broken relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and lingering emotional wounds. The protagonist learns that their former partner is now with someone they had promised never to be with, shattering any remaining trust. This revelation is compounded by the fact that the protagonist had been waiting for a call that never came, symbolizing the deep sense of abandonment and loneliness they feel. The sofa, once a place of shared moments, now stands as a stark reminder of their solitude.

The chorus poignantly captures the essence of their interactions post-breakup: 'Solo platicamos para hacernos daño' (We only talk to hurt each other). This line underscores the toxic nature of their communication, where every conversation seems to inflict more pain. The metaphor of a 'suicidal heart' that can't forget highlights the protagonist's struggle to move on, despite the emotional damage. The transformation from holding hands to becoming strangers encapsulates the tragic shift in their relationship, emphasizing how everything good eventually ends and becomes tainted.

The song also touches on the protagonist's coping mechanisms, such as drinking whisky to numb the pain. The imagery of a 'callejero' (streetwise) heart seeking warmth from someone who is emotionally cold ('tú bajo cero') further illustrates the mismatch and unfulfilled needs in the relationship. The repeated late-night calls from the ex, professing missed feelings, are met with skepticism and a closed door, symbolizing the protagonist's attempt to protect themselves from further hurt. 'Platicamos' is a raw and relatable exploration of love, loss, and the inevitable contamination of once-beautiful memories.
