Frio

Alex Sirvent's song "Frio" delves into the profound sense of emotional and relational disconnection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has grown cold, symbolized by the recurring theme of extreme coldness, such as "tres grados bajo cero" and "cien grados bajo cero." These metaphors of freezing temperatures reflect the emotional distance and numbness between the individuals involved. The imagery of "maniquíes que no pueden sentir" (mannequins that cannot feel) further emphasizes the lack of emotional warmth and the mechanical, lifeless nature of their interactions.

The song's chorus, repeating the word "frío" (cold), underscores the pervasive sense of forgetfulness and emptiness. The line "Porque aquí todo sabe a olvido" (Because here everything tastes like forgetfulness) suggests that the environment around them is saturated with memories that have lost their warmth and significance. The mention of "platos que no paran de llorar" (plates that do not stop crying) adds a haunting, almost surreal element, indicating that even the inanimate objects in their shared space are imbued with sorrow and loss.

Sirvent's lyrics also explore the theme of existential void, as seen in the lines "Viviendo al borde del vacío" (Living on the edge of the void). This phrase captures the precariousness and instability of their emotional state, teetering on the brink of nothingness. The repeated questioning of "¿En dónde estarás?" (Where will you be?) highlights the confusion and longing for a connection that seems irretrievably lost, despite physical proximity. The song poignantly captures the paradox of being close yet feeling an insurmountable distance, encapsulating the essence of a relationship that has become a shadow of its former self.
