Pasta de Hablar

Babasónicos' song 'Pasta de Hablar' is a poetic exploration of introspection, nature, and the ethereal experience of floating away from reality. The lyrics paint vivid imagery of nature, such as a swan taking flight and clouds migrating, which symbolize the artist's desire to escape and find solace in the natural world. The mention of controlling visions and not being seen 'lost' by a woman suggests a struggle with inner turmoil and the need to find peace within oneself.

The recurring theme of floating and extinction in silence reflects a deep yearning for tranquility and detachment from the chaos of life. The artist's voice becoming 'brilliant and nacarada' (pearly) signifies a transformation or purification process, as if the act of floating away allows for a rebirth or renewal. This ethereal journey is further emphasized by the imagery of autumn's arrival and the applause of sails, indicating a transition or change in the artist's life.

The song also touches on themes of love and rediscovery, as the artist's 'enrejados' (barred) eyes rediscover love in the form of couples kissing in meadows. This rediscovery is juxtaposed with the coagulation of saliva on the lips, symbolizing a moment of pause and reflection. The refrain 'Basta de hablar' (Enough talking) suggests a desire to move beyond words and embrace the silence, allowing for a deeper connection with oneself and the world. 'Pasta de Hablar' is a beautifully crafted piece that invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys and the transformative power of silence and nature.
