A Peso (part. Alta Consigna)

In "A Peso (feat. Alta Consigna)," Adrian L Santos explores the emotional turmoil and eventual liberation from a toxic relationship. The song begins with the metaphor of the "last drop that spilled the glass," symbolizing the final straw in a series of disappointments. The artist reflects on a relationship where he felt undervalued and replaced, using vivid imagery of a blind man witnessing their poor beginning and a deaf person hearing his lack of importance. This paints a picture of a relationship doomed from the start, where communication and understanding were absent.

The chorus marks a turning point, where the protagonist declares his freedom from being a "slave to your emotions." He acknowledges that he is no longer trying to impress or win over his partner, emphasizing his newfound independence. The line "I broke the dependency of following your steps" signifies a significant shift in his mindset, as he no longer feels the need to chase after someone who doesn't appreciate him. The mention of "the wine of your absence" suggests that he has come to terms with the void left by the relationship, choosing to embrace solitude rather than cling to false hopes.

The song's title, "A Peso," cleverly ties into the narrative of selling kisses for a peso, a metaphor for the devaluation of his affection. This reflects a sense of irony and empowerment, as he no longer gives away his love freely. Instead, he places a symbolic price on it, highlighting his self-worth. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love and the eventual realization that self-respect and independence are more valuable than staying in a one-sided relationship.
