Soltando A Pedazos Lyrics in English by Lagos
Soltando comes from the verb soltar, meaning "to let go" or "to release." While soltar is a common verb, its use in the gerund form soltando in the song's title and chorus is particularly poignant.
In "Soltando A Pedazos," the artist uses soltando to describe the slow, difficult process of letting go of a past relationship. The phrase "soltando a pedazos" (letting go in pieces) emphasizes that this isn't a sudden break, but a gradual, painful release, making the word deeply resonant and central to the song's emotional core.
Have you ever felt like you're trying to move on from something, but it's just… hard? That's exactly what Lagos is singing about in "Soltando A Pedazos" [Letting Go in Pieces]. He wakes up with "el peso de tu recuerdo puesto encima de mí" [the weight of your memory placed on top of me], literally feeling crushed by the past. It's that feeling of knowing you should move on, that "fue mejor dejarte ir" [it was better to let you go], but actually doing it is a whole different story.
He talks about how the journey is long and complicated, and he's just taking it "one day at a time." Even though he's letting go, it's "a pedazos" [in pieces], slowly but surely. He even has a new car but "no incluye las ganas de usarlo" [doesn't include the desire to use it], and his happiness pills only work "de a ratos" [sometimes]. It's a really honest look at how difficult it is to truly move on, even when you know it's for the best. He's going "paso a paso" [step by step], and that's a totally relatable feeling.
