Costumbres (part. Ke Personajes)

The song 'Costumbres (feat. Ke Personajes)' by Damas Gratis delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has ended, yet the habits and memories linger on. The lyrics speak from the perspective of someone who is aware that their former partner no longer loves them, but is convinced that this person will keep coming back due to the force of habit. The repetition of 'Siempre volverás una y otra vez' (You will always come back time and again) emphasizes the cyclical nature of this pattern.

The song captures the pain of realizing that love has been replaced by resentment, yet there is a struggle to move on. The line 'Yo tampoco tengo nada que decir y eso es peor' (I also have nothing to say and that's worse) reflects the helplessness and silence that often accompany the end of a relationship. The protagonist is caught in a limbo of missing their partner and acknowledging the harsh truth that what keeps them connected is not love, but mere habit.

The poignant conclusion of the song, 'No cabe duda que es verdad que la costumbre, es más fuerte que el amor' (There is no doubt that it is true that habit is stronger than love), serves as a powerful statement about human behavior. It suggests that sometimes, the routines and comfort of a past relationship can hold a stronger sway over our actions than the actual feelings of love that once fueled the connection. This song resonates with anyone who has struggled to let go of the past and the habits that tie them to a former love.
