Todo mal (feat. Alba Reche)

The Painful Liberation in 'Todo mal' by Walls ft. Alba Reche
In 'Todo mal,' Walls and Alba Reche delve into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has soured, where the protagonist feels trapped and unable to continue. The opening lines, 'Y si te digo que me quiero marchar / Que el vaso no lo quiero ni terminar,' set the tone for the rest of the song, expressing a desire to leave and an inability to even finish a drink, symbolizing the exhaustion and disinterest in continuing the relationship.
The chorus, 'Para de llamar (nena, déjalo ir) / Déjame pasar (no quiero estar aquí) / Sale todo mal,' is a plea for space and an acknowledgment that everything is going wrong. The repetition of 'Para de llamar' emphasizes the need for the other person to stop reaching out, as it only prolongs the pain and confusion. The lyrics 'Mira, que yo te quería, pero ya es bastante' reveal a lingering affection, but also a realization that love alone is not enough to sustain the relationship.
Throughout the song, there are references to past hurts and betrayals, such as 'Aún se me repite la mierda que me hiciste pasar,' highlighting the emotional scars left behind. The line 'Mientes, pero qué bien que me viene / Contigo siempre se hace tarde' suggests a complicated dynamic where lies and delays have become the norm. Ultimately, 'Todo mal' is a raw and honest portrayal of the end of a relationship, capturing the pain, frustration, and eventual acceptance that comes with letting go.
