Navigating Heartbreak and Choices in 'Malas Decisiones'
Turf's song 'Malas Decisiones' delves into the emotional turmoil and complexities of love and heartbreak. The lyrics open with a pragmatic approach to the end of a relationship, advising not to dwell on the past but to move forward. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines 'Cuando el amor termina no lo llores / Sigue adelante y nunca te demores,' which translate to 'When love ends, don't cry / Move forward and never delay.' The song suggests that mourning a lost love is futile and that life must go on, even if it means making difficult decisions.
The recurring theme of 'malas decisiones' or 'bad decisions' highlights the singer's acknowledgment of the flawed choices made in the realm of love. The lyrics 'Son malas decisiones las que tengo que tomar / Son malas decisiones para amar' reflect a sense of inevitability and resignation. Despite the pain of separation, the singer is willing to take risks and leave things to chance, as indicated by 'Si el tiempo es el correcto / Yo estoy siempre dispuesto / Para librar las cosas al azar.' This line translates to 'If the time is right / I am always willing / To leave things to chance,' emphasizing a readiness to embrace uncertainty.
The song also touches on the cyclical nature of relationships, with the acknowledgment that there have been past loves, some better or worse than the current one. The metaphor 'Pero si el fuego se apaga cenizas serás'—'But if the fire goes out, you will be ashes'—poetically conveys the idea that once the passion is gone, nothing remains but remnants of what once was. This imagery reinforces the transient nature of love and the inevitability of moving on, even if it means making 'malas decisiones.'
