Despejas comes from the verb despejar, which means to clear, clear up, or clear away. It's an interesting word because it can refer to clearing a space, clearing one's mind, or even clearing the weather.
In the context of the song, the singer uses it in a poignant way: "Si ahora te vas, me despejas de ayer" (If you leave now, you clear me from yesterday). It suggests that the departure of the loved one, though painful, might also bring a necessary clearing or release from the past, allowing for a fresh start.
Vanesa Martín's "Punto Y Coma" is a really honest and direct song about the end of a relationship. The singer isn't asking for a dramatic goodbye; instead, she wants a clear, unambiguous ending. She sings, "Si ahora se va / Que me deje un adiós / Con su abrigo en la puerta" [If he leaves now / Let him leave me a goodbye / With his coat at the door], wanting a definitive sign that it's over. She's tired of being fooled by her own feelings, saying, "Que es la última vez / Que mi cuerpo me engaña" [That it's the last time / My body deceives me].
What I love about this song is how she admits her own part in the relationship's struggles, singing, "No he sabido quererte / Arrancarte la prisa y el nervio" [I haven't known how to love you / To pull out your hurry and your nerve]. She's not just sad; there's a real sense of frustration and a desire for closure. The line "Dejarte en un punto y coma / Más que unas horas" [To leave you at a semicolon / More than a few hours] is so clever, implying that she couldn't keep him in a state of pause, that the relationship needed a full stop. She's ready to move on, even if it means facing the difficult truth of who her ex might be with, repeating, "No soporto pensar / Quién te va a recorrer / Mientras yo siga sola" [I can't stand to think / Who will explore you / While I remain alone].
