entre Paredes

Askatasuna's song 'entre Paredes' delves into the emotional and psychological state of someone who feels trapped and confined. The lyrics express a deep sense of frustration and longing, as the narrator grapples with the paradox of having what they need but not what they truly desire. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, 'aunque quiera lo que tengo, yo no tengo lo que quiero,' highlighting the internal conflict between contentment and yearning for something more meaningful.

The song also touches on themes of memory and loss. The narrator reflects on the passage of time and the erosion of their community's collective memory, stating, 'ya no quedan mas recuerdos, solo quedan mis lamentos.' This suggests a profound sense of isolation and sorrow, as the remnants of the past fade away, leaving only personal regrets and laments. The imagery of being 'adentro' or inside, possibly within walls, serves as a metaphor for both physical and emotional confinement.

In the final lines, the narrator expresses a desire for escape and rest, 'Yo quisiera descansar y a esta tierra no volver jamas.' This longing for peace and a permanent departure from their current state underscores the depth of their despair. Askatasuna, known for their poignant and introspective lyrics, uses 'entre Paredes' to explore the human condition, touching on universal themes of confinement, memory, and the quest for freedom and fulfillment.
