“Nuestra Aflicción” dives head-first into the messy aftermath of a love that has gone off the rails. The singer paces through endless, sleepless nights, feeling as if every dream has been locked away and the key tossed into the void. He swings between craving a clever escape plan and accepting that the world, his lover included, might always keep him at arm’s length. Love, he realizes, can stain you like ink, and he already feels drenched. Still, beneath the angst lies a tender wish: that his song could make her feel special, could spark enough joy to grow old together.
Yet the track ultimately circles back to surrender. The narrator decides to stop being a burden, to close this chapter, and to find “medicine” for the ache of feeling leg-snapped whenever she is gone. In a bittersweet twist, he proposes forging ahead with “joy and happiness,” acknowledging that both partners will carry their shared heartache—nuestra aflicción—into whatever comes next. Wrapped in PXNDX’s punchy guitars and raw vocals, the song becomes a cathartic anthem for anyone who has tried everything, come up short, and still hopes their music might turn pain into something beautiful.
