flores

The song 'flores' by Spanish artist Babi delves into the emotional turmoil and eventual empowerment following a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been deeply hurt by their partner, to the point where their life has been negatively impacted ('Mi vida a tu lado se jodió'). The mention of 'blunt' and 'colocón' suggests attempts to escape reality through substance use, while 'tiro los blister' could imply a desire to discard medication, symbolizing a wish to break free from the pain.

The chorus, where the artist mentions that even the partner's mother brings her flowers, is particularly poignant. It suggests a recognition of the artist's suffering, perhaps even an apology for her child's actions. The flowers could symbolize condolences, traditionally associated with funerals and loss, indicating the death of the relationship and the emotional damage it caused. The artist's struggle with self-worth and identity in the aftermath of the relationship is evident as she questions everything about herself, from her success to her basic needs and desires.

The song concludes with a sense of defiance and strength. The artist warns the ex-partner not to underestimate her, signaling a reclaiming of power and a readiness to move on ('Voy a poner a arder el puto cementerio'). The repeated verses about flying through the room and the appearance of death suggest a transformation, with the artist emerging stronger and more aware of her worth after surviving the relationship's challenges.
