De Caer

Cielo Razzo's song 'De Caer' is a poetic exploration of time, memory, and the inevitable passage of life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a decaying urban landscape, where the cracks in the street symbolize the wear and tear of time. These cracks 'draw life in the afternoon,' suggesting that even in decay, there is a story to be told, a history to be remembered. The recurring theme of remembering 'the thousand figures that passed' highlights the transient nature of life and the lingering presence of the past in our present moments.

The song also delves into the theme of silence and its weight. The 'inert silence' that 'brings smells from other years' evokes a sense of nostalgia and the haunting presence of bygone days. The imagery of the 'old cat' and the 'last rooftops' further emphasizes the passage of time and the end of an era. The afternoon, described as the 'soul of windows,' and the cracks that 'never give revenge,' suggest a melancholic acceptance of time's relentless march and the futility of resisting it.

As the night falls, the song captures the fleeting nature of sensations and moments. The 'vague sensation' and the 'ray that was the disguise of the day' symbolize the ephemeral quality of life and experiences. The 'knot of hallucination' and the 'rumor of the blind' add a surreal touch, reflecting the confusion and disorientation that often accompany the passage of time. The final lines, where the 'window fell silent' and the 'world was lost,' convey a sense of finality and loss. Yet, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer feels that they are 'starting over,' suggesting a cyclical nature of life and the possibility of renewal even amidst ruins.
