Se Acostumbro

Uriel Lozano's song 'Se Acostumbro' delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship marred by neglect and deceit. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who has grown accustomed to being alone, waiting for her partner who is often absent. The repetition of 'se acostumbro' (she got used to) underscores the resignation and adaptation to a painful reality. The woman has learned to accept lies and endure loneliness, symbolized by the long hours marked by the clock and the empty house.

The narrative takes a turn when the protagonist returns home to find that his partner has left. The absence of her belongings and the lingering scent of her perfume highlight the finality of her departure. This moment of realization is a powerful metaphor for the consequences of his actions. The protagonist is confronted with the emptiness he has created, both in his home and in his life. The lyrics suggest a sense of regret and a recognition that he must now face the repercussions of his deceit.

The song also uses the metaphor of a dog licking its wounds to describe the woman's process of healing and moving on. This imagery evokes a sense of self-reliance and resilience, as she decides to start a new life on her own. The repeated plea to God to know her whereabouts reflects the protagonist's desperation and acknowledgment of his mistakes. 'Se Acostumbro' is a poignant exploration of the themes of loneliness, regret, and the enduring strength of those who choose to heal and move forward despite the pain inflicted upon them.
