Daños

The song 'Daños' by the Argentine rock band Callejeros delves into the emotional landscape of someone who has endured a great deal of pain and is seeking healing and a fresh start. The lyrics express a desire to break free from the silence imposed by pain ('Quiero gritar / Pero el dolor calló mi voz') and to feel alive again ('Quiero sentir / Porque no siento el corazón'). The protagonist is looking to create a personal sanctuary ('Un mundo de calor') and find solace in their own creations ('Metido en mi canción').

The song reflects on the impact of broken promises and the lessons learned from a difficult upbringing ('Crecí llorando promesas rotas'). There's a sense of disillusionment with the past and a determination to not repeat the same mistakes ('A elegir bien a quien querer / A mentirme para creer'). The chorus emphasizes a longing for stability and peace ('Voy a ser base acá'), and the hope that starting a family ('La que con un hijo sanará') might bring healing and end the cycle of 'daños' (damages or harm).

'Daños' is a poignant narrative of overcoming adversity and the search for self-worth and love. The song's protagonist is determined to leave behind the 'marcas sucias' (dirty marks) of the past and to not allow them to overshadow their future ('Y no mi sol'). The repeated rejection of 'engaños' (deceits) and 'daños' underscores a strong resolve to move forward without the burdens of past traumas. Callejeros' music often explores themes of social issues and personal struggles, and 'Daños' is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of hardship.
