Fellinesca

Axel Fiks' song 'Fellinesca' delves into the surreal and almost dreamlike experience of encountering a love that feels too perfect to be real. The lyrics open with the narrator confessing that they had once imagined the perfect partner, blending both physical and mental attributes. This idealized figure, once a mere figment of their imagination, has now manifested in reality, leaving the narrator in a state of disbelief. The repeated line 'No puedo creer que te vi' (I can't believe I saw you) underscores the astonishment and wonder at this seemingly impossible occurrence.

The song continues to explore the narrator's struggle to reconcile this perfect vision with reality. They question the authenticity of their experience, wondering if they are dreaming or if this person truly exists beside them. The desire to connect deeply is palpable, with the narrator expressing a longing to embrace and declare their love. The metaphor of needing this person 'como una cerveza y helado en verano' (like a beer and ice cream in summer) vividly conveys the intensity and necessity of their presence.

However, the song also touches on the fear of losing this perfect love. The narrator compares their state of depression when the person is absent to 'Homero sin televisión' (Homer without television), a humorous yet poignant metaphor that highlights the emptiness and lack of joy in their life without this person. Despite this, the narrator is careful not to impose pressure, choosing instead to cherish the memory of this love in the 'mejor rincón' (best corner) of their mind. 'Fellinesca' beautifully captures the tension between dreams and reality, the joy of finding love, and the fear of losing it, all wrapped in a poetic and emotionally resonant narrative.
