Fragmento de Soledad

Anabantha's 'Fragmento de Soledad' is a haunting exploration of loneliness and emotional pain. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a desolate emotional landscape, where broken romances and faded memories linger. The opening lines describe an 'agonic lament' of words that are painful to hear, setting the tone for a song steeped in sorrow and reflection. The recurring question, '¿qué nos marca hoy? nos marcó ayer no nos marcará más,' suggests a struggle to break free from past traumas and emotional scars that have long defined the narrator's existence.

The imagery of a 'dark, hesitant, and forgotten path' that one traverses in silence evokes a sense of isolation and introspection. This path, shrouded in penumbra, symbolizes the emotional journey of confronting and processing deep-seated feelings. The narrator's transformation into an 'impassive immortal' hints at a desire to become numb to the pain, to transcend the suffering that has become a constant companion. The repeated phrase 'sabor a sangre amarga... amarga como las tinieblas' (bitter taste of blood... bitter as the darkness) underscores the intensity of the emotional anguish, likening it to the bitterness of blood and the enveloping nature of darkness.

The song also touches on the fleeting nature of happiness and love. The 'happy silhouette' and 'subtle steps' that dissolve at dusk represent moments of joy and connection that are ephemeral and ultimately consumed by the night. The image of a mouth inundating withered roses with a kiss further emphasizes the theme of decay and the transient beauty of love. Anabantha, known for their gothic metal style, masterfully blends poetic lyrics with dark, atmospheric music to create a powerful and evocative piece that resonates with anyone who has experienced the depths of solitude and heartache.
