LICÁNTROPO

Belén Aguilera's song 'LICÁNTROPO' delves into the mysterious and often dark transformation that occurs under the cover of night. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels an almost magical change when the sun sets, likening themselves to a werewolf. This metaphor of becoming a 'licántropo' or werewolf serves as a powerful symbol for losing control and succumbing to darker impulses. The night, described as both magical and tragic, becomes a time of vulnerability and transformation, where the protagonist wakes up with bruised skin and fragmented memories, highlighting the physical and emotional toll of these nocturnal escapades.

The song explores the internal conflict between the desire for peace and the mind's failure to achieve it. The protagonist's nights out are filled with a sense of danger and unpredictability, as they fail to perceive threats and find themselves transformed by the time it gets late. This transformation is not just physical but also psychological, as the fear of looking at their own reflection suggests a deeper fear of confronting their true self. The plea for a morning without fractures underscores a longing for stability and normalcy, which seems elusive in the face of these nightly transformations.

Aguilera's lyrics also touch on the struggle for control and the facade of normalcy. The protagonist sometimes feels they can manage their transformations, even lying to hide the truth. However, the act of looking at the moon signals an inevitable change, a surrender to the forces that compel them. The shift from 'azul celeste' to 'azul eléctrico' symbolizes the transition from calm to chaos, further emphasizing the unsettling nature of these transformations. The recurring imagery of waking up with makeup still on and a more skeletal appearance suggests a loss of vitality and a haunting reminder of the night's events. Through 'LICÁNTROPO,' Aguilera captures the essence of battling inner demons and the haunting beauty of the night.
