Cicatrices translates to "scars." It's a poignant and evocative word that carries significant emotional weight, making it more impactful than common vocabulary.
In the context of the song, Cazzu sings, "Y después de ti las cicatrices, no volverá a ser igual" (And after you, the scars, it won't be the same again). This powerful imagery conveys the lasting pain and emotional damage left by a past relationship, suggesting that the experience has permanently altered her capacity to love or be loved in the same way. It's a word that immediately draws the listener into the song's raw emotional landscape.
Cazzu opens with the door already closing: "No me preguntes por qué, no te atrevas a abrazarme" [Don't ask me why, don't you dare hug me]. She's not explaining herself, she's setting a boundary. The verses keep circling the same contradiction — she needs to forget him ("Yo necesito olvidar") in the same breath she admits "Te necesito" [I need you] — and by the bridge she's tried numbing it with other people ("Hasta he probado otros cuerpos, llegué a besar otra boca") [I've even tried other bodies, I got as far as kissing another mouth] just to stop thinking about him.
It's the third chapter of her C14TORCE series, and the math is blunt rather than poetic: loving him again would cost her days she's already counted out ("Pa tu amor tengo los días contados"). The scars don't erase, they just stop being the same shape.
