Impermeable

Ha*Ash's song 'Impermeable' is a powerful anthem of emotional resilience and self-empowerment. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has reached a breaking point in a relationship where apologies and tears no longer have an effect. The title 'Impermeable,' which translates to 'waterproof' in English, serves as a metaphor for the emotional state of the narrator, who has become immune to the partner's attempts at reconciliation.

The song opens with the narrator's suspicion that their partner is hiding something, as indicated by the partner's eyes filling up—a sign of impending tears. The narrator is tired of the repetitive cycle of being hurt and then forgiving when the partner expresses regret. The use of water imagery, with references to tears and being drowned by emotions, emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the partner's emotional manipulation. However, the narrator declares a newfound strength, symbolizing a shield against this manipulation, hence the term 'impermeable.'

The chorus reinforces the message of the song, with the narrator asserting that they will no longer be affected by the partner's apologies or tears. The decision to stop forgiving and to no longer love the partner signifies a moment of liberation and self-discovery. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the struggle of breaking free from a toxic relationship and the journey towards healing and finding inner strength.
