Comunion

The song 'Comunion' by Asamblea Internacional Del Fuego is a passionate exploration of human connection, desire, and the raw intensity of emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a 'Carnaval,' a metaphorical celebration where the mysteries of the body are unveiled, and the blood boils with fervor. This carnival is not just a physical event but a spiritual and emotional communion where souls meet, and barriers are broken down. The repeated imagery of 'puertas abiertas' (open doors) signifies the breaking of boundaries and the unleashing of inner desires and emotions.

The chorus, with its repetitive phrases 'amor dolor, temor amor' (love pain, fear love), encapsulates the complex interplay of emotions that come with deep connections. Love and pain are intertwined, and fear is a constant companion. The song delves into the duality of human experience, where touching the heavens and being close to hell are not mutually exclusive but part of the same journey. This duality is further emphasized in the lines 'En ninguna otra parte, tan cerca el infierno. Si en ninguna otra parte, tocamos el cielo' (Nowhere else, so close to hell. Yes, nowhere else, we touch the sky).

The song reaches a climax with the lines 'Para ahora yo ser, tu cuerpo y mi cuerpo' (For now, I am, your body and my body), highlighting the unity and merging of identities. The fear of being burned by the mystery of this union is palpable, yet it is through this fear and the subsequent 'golpe a golpe' (blow by blow) that the fear is burned away. The final lines, 'ahora no, y ahora no, Y ahora nadie te para, nadie corta tus alas' (not now, and not now, And now no one stops you, no one cuts your wings), signify liberation and the ultimate freedom that comes from this intense communion.
