Almas de La Oscuridad

Basca's song 'Almas de La Oscuridad' delves into the grim realities faced by marginalized individuals in society. The lyrics paint a haunting picture of 'souls of darkness,' representing those who have been abandoned, forgotten, and left to fend for themselves in a harsh world. These 'angels without light' are born out of neglect, perversion, and societal abandonment, symbolizing the darker aspects of human existence that are often ignored or overlooked.

The song uses vivid imagery to describe these souls as they navigate the cold, unforgiving nights. They are depicted as shadows, extending their 'black hands' in a desperate plea for salvation. The metaphor of 'engendros de la sociedad' (offspring of society) underscores the idea that these individuals are a product of societal failures. They crawl on the asphalt, eating the dust of the city, their mutilated bodies enduring storms, both literal and metaphorical. This stark portrayal emphasizes their resilience and the brutal conditions they endure daily.

'Basca' also touches on the survival tactics these souls adopt, such as learning to flee and steal, hiding behind the crosses of solitude. The mention of 'escuadrones' (squads) cleaning the city highlights the violent measures taken to eradicate these marginalized individuals, treating them as pests rather than human beings. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on their fleeting dreams, symbolized by cardboard boxes, and the inevitable cycle of violence they are drawn into. 'Almas de La Oscuridad' serves as a powerful commentary on societal neglect and the harsh realities faced by those living on the fringes of society.
