Prisionero

Angeles Del Infierno's song 'Prisionero' delves into the intense and often overwhelming emotions of being in love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels utterly captivated and imprisoned by their feelings for someone else. The song opens with a sense of resignation, suggesting that the protagonist has been waiting for a call that never came, and in the process, they hoped to forget their obsession. This sets the stage for the emotional turmoil that follows.

The lyrics describe the protagonist's first encounter with this powerful emotion, which they had never felt before. The imagery of their mind being consumed by the image of their beloved highlights the depth of their obsession. The excitement and allure of the person they love are so intense that it overrides their own desires and needs, making them feel as though they are living solely for this other person. The repeated line, 'Eras más fuerte.... que mi propia voluntad' (You were stronger than my own will), underscores the idea that the protagonist's love is overpowering and beyond their control.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's struggle becomes more apparent. They feel a sense of despair when they are not with their beloved, to the point of feeling like they are dying. Despite their attempts to appear indifferent and forget about their love, they find it impossible. The beloved has unknowingly taken control of their emotions, making the protagonist feel like a prisoner of their own heart. The chorus, 'Prisionero, prisionero de tu amor' (Prisoner, prisoner of your love), encapsulates the central theme of the song, emphasizing the inescapable and consuming nature of their feelings.
