Tus Cosas (part. Airbag)
Tan Bionica
The Struggle of Letting Go
In "Tus Cosas," Tan Bionica, featuring Airbag, delves into the emotional turmoil of a person grappling with the aftermath of a relationship. The song's protagonist finds themselves in a state of confusion and self-loathing, as they struggle to understand their feelings and actions. The lyrics convey a sense of isolation, as the individual is "gritando solo" (screaming alone), highlighting the internal conflict and the difficulty of moving on from a past love.
The song explores themes of self-deception and emotional numbness. The protagonist admits to "desactivando mil bombas" (deactivating a thousand bombs), a metaphor for the emotional baggage and unresolved issues they are trying to manage. Despite their efforts, they are "harto de sentir así" (tired of feeling this way), indicating a deep-seated frustration with their inability to escape the pain. The mention of "amo la eficacia de mi autoengaño" (I love the effectiveness of my self-deception) suggests a reliance on denial as a coping mechanism, even as it fails to bring true relief.
The recurring question of identity, "¿Quién soy?" (Who am I?), underscores the protagonist's existential crisis. This introspection is compounded by the imagery of burning sheet music, symbolizing the destruction of past memories and creative expressions tied to the relationship. The song captures the paradox of feeling both detached from the past and yet deeply affected by it, as the protagonist acknowledges that "ya no me duelen tus cosas" (your things no longer hurt me), but they are still haunted by their own inability to feel and move forward.
