Entra En El Agua

La Gusana Ciega's song 'Entra En El Agua' is a poignant exploration of emotional healing and the search for genuine connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been let down by their fantasies of a savior, a 'prince from a beautiful planet,' and is left feeling devastated and alone. The imagery of lying in bed, lost in thought, sets the stage for a narrative of introspection and longing. The repeated invitation to 'enter the water' and 'feel the salt' serves as a metaphor for cleansing and renewal, suggesting that embracing natural experiences can lead to healing.

The song's narrator offers solace and companionship, expressing a desire to console and support the person in distress. The lines 'I would take you to the sea, show you a sign at the bottom that says your name' symbolize a deep, personal connection and the lengths the narrator is willing to go to provide comfort. The water imagery continues with references to feeling the waves and the narrator's touch, emphasizing the natural and healing aspects of physical and emotional closeness.

As the song progresses, the narrator's frustration and longing become more apparent. The repeated refrain of 'I'm still here thinking of you' underscores a persistent hope and dedication, despite the challenges of reaching the person they care about. The song culminates in a plea for the person to 'enter the water' and experience the healing touch of the narrator's love. 'Entra En El Agua' ultimately conveys a message of hope, healing, and the transformative power of genuine human connection.
