Prioridad
Cruz de navajas Lyrics

The lyrics of "Prioridad" by Cruz de Navajas describe the heartbreaking reality faced by women who choose to have an abortion. The first verse paints a vivid image of the physical act of abortion, with lines like "Lo arrebatan de tu vientre con un corte vertical" (They snatch it from your womb with a vertical cut) and "Deshechan tu cuerpo en el camino" (They discard your body on the way). The lyrics convey a sense of detachment and dehumanization as the woman's name and that of her child are forgotten.

The following lines delve into the emotional and psychological impact of the decision. The singer descends into the unconscious, suggesting a loss of self and a need to detach from the situation. The woman tries to rationalize her choice, "Deslindas tu responsabilidad/Haces clara tu prioridad" (You separate yourself from responsibility/Make your priority clear).

The final lines of the song focus on the internal struggle and consequences that follow. The woman closes her eyes, entering a realm where the earth becomes saturated, representing the overwhelming weight of her decision. Despite the woman's pain, the lyrics suggest that her sorrow will go unnoticed and unacknowledged, with no tears shed. It highlights the loneliness and isolation she feels in a society that often stigmatizes and overlooks the experiences of women who choose to have an abortion.
