Invertebrado

Cadaver Exquisito's song "Invertebrado" delves into the depths of human vulnerability and emotional turmoil. The term 'invertebrado' translates to 'invertebrate,' symbolizing a lack of structure or support, both physically and emotionally. The protagonist describes themselves as disproportionate and tenderly launching off a cliff, a metaphor for taking a leap of faith despite feeling unprepared or fragile. This imagery sets the tone for a narrative of struggle and longing, where the mind's excesses prevent the protagonist from connecting with others or finding stability.

The lyrics poignantly express a sense of incompleteness and yearning for connection. The protagonist's need for the kisses that 'build skeletons' in their animalistic self suggests that love and affection provide the structure and support they lack. The repeated mention of being a 'being without bones' and 'melted in my body' conveys a profound sense of helplessness and suffocation, unable to breathe or find solid ground. This is further emphasized by the description of being an 'angry soul in process,' indicating a turbulent journey towards self-discovery and emotional healing.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and the struggle to be heard. The protagonist feels unreachable, with 'foam in their ears,' unable to hear the world around them. This sense of emptiness, despite having physical form, underscores the disconnect between their inner and outer selves. The refrain about being the 'remains of a song' that is incomplete until heard by the heart of another highlights the transformative power of love and understanding. It suggests that true completion and fulfillment come from being truly seen and heard by someone else, making the song a poignant exploration of the human condition and the quest for connection and wholeness.
