Maria Becerra
The Emotional Rollercoaster of a Troubled Relationship
Maria Becerra's song "Episodios" delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship marred by inconsistency and conflict. The lyrics paint a picture of a partnership that has become unrecognizable, with one partner speaking of a future that seems impossible due to the troubled present. The song captures the essence of a relationship where the partners have gradually drifted apart, leading to confusion and a sense of not understanding each other anymore.
The chorus of the song expresses a deep fatigue with the cyclical nature of their love, oscillating between affection and animosity. Becerra conveys the exhaustion of being in a relationship that feels like a series of episodes, each one swinging from love to hate. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of watching the clock and longing for a return to better times, only to be faced with the reality of constant arguments and an on-again-off-again dynamic that threatens to destroy them both.
The song also touches on the theme of self-respect and boundaries. The narrator is tired of the lies and the repetitive pattern of apologies followed by repeated offenses. There's a resolve to not be there if the partner decides to return, highlighting the decision to stop participating in the destructive cycle. The use of the term "episodios" metaphorically represents the fragmented and episodic nature of their interactions, suggesting a lack of continuity and stability in their relationship.
