Como Duele

RBD's song 'Como Duele' delves deep into the emotional turmoil that follows a painful breakup. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of the lingering pain and the haunting memories that accompany the end of a significant relationship. The song opens with the protagonist grappling with unanswered questions and the overwhelming presence of loneliness. The imagery of 'making war against memories' and the inevitability of losing that battle highlights the struggle to move on from a love that once was central to their life.

The chorus emphasizes the intensity of the pain, with repeated phrases like 'Como duele' (How it hurts) underscoring the depth of the protagonist's suffering. The silence, the name of the loved one, and the unfulfilled kiss symbolize the void left behind. The 'stubborn heart' and the 'silent photo' that cannot be torn apart represent the difficulty of letting go and the persistent attachment to the past. The use of metaphors such as a 'night with the moon turned off' and 'life blind without your gaze' vividly conveys the sense of darkness and disorientation that comes with the absence of the loved one.

The song also touches on the physical manifestations of emotional pain, with the 'knot in the throat' and the 'air that hurts' illustrating how deeply the loss is felt. The finality of the goodbye, described as an ambush, adds a layer of betrayal and unexpectedness to the heartbreak. 'Como Duele' is a powerful expression of the sorrow and helplessness that accompany the end of a cherished relationship, capturing the universal experience of love lost with raw honesty and emotional depth.
