Muriendo

Aggelos' song 'Muriendo' is a haunting and deeply emotional exploration of despair, longing, and spiritual anguish. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a soul submerged in darkness, struggling to stay afloat amidst overwhelming sorrow. The opening lines, 'El abismo de las aguas / Ha venido / Posando su oscuridad / Sobre mi alma,' set the tone for the entire song, depicting a profound sense of being engulfed by an abyss, a metaphor for the singer's internal turmoil and emotional suffering.

The repeated pleas for a response, 'Respóndeme, no me dejes / Que estoy muriendo,' highlight the desperation and urgency of the singer's situation. This cry for help is not just a call to a loved one but can also be interpreted as a spiritual plea to a higher power. The reference to 'Eloi, eloi / Lama sabactani!'—a phrase attributed to Jesus on the cross, meaning 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'—adds a layer of religious significance, suggesting a feeling of abandonment by God and a deep yearning for divine intervention.

Throughout the song, there are moments of introspection and regret, as seen in lines like 'A veces mi boca calla tantas vocales, tantos te quiero / E se llena de tantas mentiras / De tantos amargos reproches.' These lines reflect the singer's internal conflict and remorse over unspoken words and past mistakes. The imagery of 'mi alma arrepentida descansa en el mar de sangre más divino' juxtaposes the purity of divine forgiveness with the singer's sense of guilt and need for redemption. The song's closing lines, 'No quites de mí tu mirada / No permitas que el abismo / Cierre su boca / Sobre mí,' encapsulate the fear of being consumed by despair and the desperate hope for salvation and relief from suffering.
