Ángel Dormido

Anabantha's song 'Ángel Dormido' delves into themes of sorrow, invisibility, and the hope of awakening from a state of despair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels unseen and is drowning in their own sadness, symbolized by the line 'Ver a través de ti, eres invisible' (Seeing through you, you are invisible). This sense of invisibility and isolation is further emphasized by the imagery of a 'diamante en tu llanto' (diamond in your tears), suggesting that even in sorrow, there is something precious and beautiful, albeit hidden and unrecognized.

The song takes a turn towards hope and awakening with the lines 'Ángel dormido despertarás' (Sleeping angel, you will awaken). This metaphor of a sleeping angel represents a dormant potential or a spirit that has been subdued by pain and suffering. The promise of awakening signifies a transformation, a moment when the individual will rise from their despair and share their solace with others, as indicated by 'Al fin mi consuelo compartirás' (Finally, you will share my solace). This awakening is not just a personal revival but a spiritual one, where the individual will 'desencarnarás tu espíritu' (disincarnate your spirit), shedding their earthly burdens and fears.

The song concludes with a powerful message about the nature of reality and illusions. 'Las ilusiones son la verdad' (Illusions are the truth) suggests that what we perceive as illusions or dreams can hold profound truths. The final line, 'No habrá más miedo en realidad' (There will be no more fear in reality), offers a comforting resolution, implying that once the sleeping angel awakens, fear will dissipate, and a new, fearless reality will emerge. Anabantha, known for their gothic and darkwave influences, uses these themes to create a haunting yet hopeful narrative that resonates deeply with listeners.
