Adiós a Los Dinosaurios

Carlos Sadness's song 'Adiós a Los Dinosaurios' is a poetic exploration of love, time, and cosmic destiny. The lyrics weave a narrative that transcends the ordinary bounds of time, suggesting a love that has existed for eons. The opening lines, 'No sé cuándo nací, ya no me acuerdo / Pero soñé contigo hace mucho tiempo,' set the stage for a timeless love story. The protagonist has been dreaming of their beloved for an eternity, collecting sunsets and waiting for their appearance, symbolizing patience and the passage of time.

The metaphor of saying goodbye to dinosaurs while perched on an ancient tree adds a layer of depth to the song. Dinosaurs, representing the distant past, and the tree, symbolizing longevity and wisdom, create a vivid image of waiting through the ages. The repeated line 'Pero ahora estás aquí, aquí, aquí / Justo cuando tengo que, justo cuando tengo que / Justo cuando me he de ir' introduces a bittersweet twist. The beloved has finally arrived, but just as the protagonist must leave, highlighting the cruel irony of timing in love.

The song also delves into the concept of eternal love through cosmic imagery. References to stars that have been dead for thousands of years but whose light still reaches us serve as a metaphor for enduring love. 'Mira esa estrella que está brillando / Lleva apagada miles de años / Pero su luz aún te sigue llegando / Como mi amor cuando ya me haya marchado' suggests that love, like starlight, can outlast physical presence. The plea to spend 'media eternidad' together underscores the desire to make the most of the time they have, even if it is fleeting. Carlos Sadness masterfully blends themes of time, love, and the cosmos to create a song that is both poignant and timeless.
