Diferentes Tipos de Luz

Carlos Sadness's song 'Diferentes Tipos de Luz' (Different Types of Light) is a poetic exploration of the complexities of human emotions and relationships, using light as a metaphor for the different states of being and feeling. The lyrics suggest a contemplative and introspective journey, where light represents both presence and absence, warmth and coldness, clarity and obscurity.

The opening lines set a tone of vulnerability and contrast, with the artist comparing himself to a 'winter light,' a 'fragile flash,' and the other person to a 'tear on fire,' which blinds. This juxtaposition of elements reflects the delicate balance in relationships, where individuals can be both a source of comfort and pain to each other. The mention of 'sleeping with loneliness' and seeing 'us' in the mirror indicates a longing for connection and the recognition of shared experiences, even in solitude.

As the song progresses, the light metaphor evolves, with the singer acknowledging that light has reached him, cutting through the shadow of another. This could symbolize the impact someone has had on his life, bringing clarity but also fading to gray, suggesting a loss of identity or confusion when named by the other person. The desire to 'stay and contemplate the cracks of silence' and the 'aurora borealis of our memory' speaks to a wish to preserve the beauty and magic of moments past, despite the inevitable changes and the difficulty of distinguishing reality from illusion. The repetition of 'opening a path among your shadow' emphasizes the struggle and persistence in seeking understanding and connection.
