Como Roca

Rolando Laserie's song 'Como Roca' is a poignant exploration of heartbreak, resilience, and the journey towards emotional healing. The lyrics tell the story of a man who has been deeply hurt by a past lover. He describes how he begged and cried for her, only to be met with cold indifference, symbolized by the metaphor of her being 'like a rock.' This imagery powerfully conveys the emotional unavailability and hardness of the person he once loved, highlighting the pain of unrequited affection.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reveals that he has found a new love, which marks the beginning of his healing process. He expresses a desire to move on and forget his past lover, despite the lingering pain and sadness. The lyrics 'Todas las heridas que dejaste se han ido sanando' (All the wounds you left have been healing) signify the gradual process of recovery and the strength it takes to overcome such emotional scars. This part of the song emphasizes the theme of resilience and the human capacity to heal over time.

The latter part of the song takes on a more defiant tone, as the protagonist asserts his determination to forget his past lover and move forward with his life. He wishes her well but also hopes she experiences the same kind of heartbreak he endured. The repeated phrase 'Tú verás que yo, yo si te olvido' (You will see that I will forget you) serves as a mantra of empowerment and self-affirmation. The song concludes with a sense of triumph and self-assurance, as the protagonist embraces his newfound strength and resilience, ready to face the future with confidence and joy.
