Become ( en español)

The Hall Effect's song 'Become (en español)' delves into the emotional turmoil and introspection that follows a painful breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist grappling with the absence of a significant other, as well as the lingering impact of the relationship. The recurring phrase 'digo hola pero tu no estas aqui' (I say hello but you are not here) underscores the sense of loss and longing that permeates the song. This line sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which explore themes of regret, confusion, and the struggle to move on.

The song's narrative is rich with metaphors and emotional imagery. Phrases like 'las cosas que quise y ahora solo me rasgan' (the things I wanted and now they only tear me apart) and 'bienvenidos mis miedos' (welcome my fears) highlight the internal conflict and emotional scars left by the relationship. The protagonist's attempt to 'no respirar' (not breathe) and 'olvidar lo que me hiciste sentir' (forget what you made me feel) reflects a desperate effort to numb the pain and erase the memories. The repeated plea for the other person to 'vuelve' (come back) reveals a deep-seated need for closure and reconciliation, even as the protagonist acknowledges the difficulty of living with the emotional aftermath.

The song also touches on the theme of self-discovery and transformation. The line 'cambiarte a ti, camina fuera de mi vida' (change you, walk out of my life) signifies a turning point where the protagonist begins to accept the end of the relationship and the necessity of moving forward. The realization that 'ya todo esta roto dentro de mis propios ojos' (everything is already broken within my own eyes) suggests a moment of clarity and self-awareness. This acknowledgment of personal growth and the impact of the past relationship is encapsulated in the final line, 'haciendome lo que soy ahora' (making me what I am now), which signifies the protagonist's journey towards becoming a new version of themselves, shaped by their experiences.
