Corazón Marmol

Alice Wonder's song "Corazón Marmol" delves deep into the emotional turmoil and inner struggles of a person who feels broken and trapped. The recurring phrase "roto por dentro corazón mármol" (broken inside, heart of marble) symbolizes a heart that has become hardened and unfeeling due to past traumas and disappointments. This metaphor of a marble heart suggests a facade of strength and beauty, but one that is ultimately cold and unyielding. The desire to "despegar" (take off) represents a longing for liberation and escape from this emotional imprisonment.

The lyrics also touch on themes of regret and the haunting nature of past mistakes. Lines like "La he jodido una vez más" (I've messed up once again) and "Lo que pude hacer y no hice" (What I could have done and didn't do) reflect a deep sense of remorse and the weight of unfulfilled potential. The imagery of being in a "vitrina de cristal" (glass showcase) further emphasizes the feeling of being on display, scrutinized, and unable to break free from one's own limitations and the judgments of others.

Despite the heavy themes, there is a glimmer of hope in the song. The repeated dreams of luck falling into a "manantial" (spring) suggest a yearning for renewal and a fresh start. The plea to be forgotten, "Olvídame" (Forget me), can be seen as a desire to shed the past and its burdens, allowing for a rebirth. Alice Wonder's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery capture the complexity of human emotions, making "Corazón Marmol" a powerful exploration of vulnerability, regret, and the quest for inner peace.
