Estado Decadente

Kewin Cosmos' song 'Estado Decadente' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and despair that follows a painful breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person trapped in a cycle of sorrow and longing, unable to move past the memories of a lost love. The recurring theme of an empty apartment serves as a metaphor for the emptiness felt within, while the act of drinking becomes a futile attempt to numb the pain and fill the void left by the absence of the loved one.

The song's bilingual nature, switching between Spanish and Portuguese, adds a layer of cultural richness and universality to the experience of heartbreak. The lines 'La tristeza decora nuestra casa' and 'A tristeza decora essa casa' emphasize how sadness has become a permanent fixture in the protagonist's life, decorating their home and heart. The repetition of 'Yo sé que nadie se muere de amor' ('I know no one dies of love') juxtaposed with 'Pero el trago y no verte mata' ('But the drink and not seeing you kills me') highlights the internal conflict between rationality and overwhelming emotion.

Kewin Cosmos uses powerful imagery and raw emotion to convey the depth of the protagonist's despair. The song captures the essence of feeling stuck in a 'decadent state,' where time seems to stand still, and the only constant is the haunting memory of the lost love. The lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup, making 'Estado Decadente' a poignant and relatable anthem for the brokenhearted.
