Cipreses

The song 'Cipreses' by Claustrofóbicos delves into themes of introspection, struggle, and the search for comfort in the midst of personal turmoil. The cypress trees serve as a metaphorical sanctuary for the narrator, a place where they feel more at ease and can momentarily escape the overwhelming aspects of their life. The opening lines, 'Entre cipreses me siento más cómodo / Ignoro lo que no sea tu voz,' suggest a desire to focus solely on a comforting presence, possibly a loved one, while ignoring external distractions and pressures.

The lyrics also touch on the narrator's sense of disconnection from their roots and identity, as seen in 'Mis raíces no las conozco bien / Y solo por hoy puedo respirar.' This indicates a struggle with self-awareness and a temporary reprieve from their usual state of suffocation. The mention of not falling ill for months but feeling weaker today hints at a chronic battle with mental or physical health, where the narrator experiences fluctuating states of well-being.

The recurring lines, 'Cuánto tiempo / Viendo los mismos fotogramas / Tantos años / Se sienten como nada,' reflect a sense of stagnation and the passage of time feeling meaningless. This repetition underscores the narrator's frustration with their inability to change their circumstances. The admission of not learning to say no and needing a rope to face their problems suggests a deep-seated struggle with setting boundaries and dealing with life's challenges. The song paints a poignant picture of someone grappling with their inner demons while seeking solace in the natural world.
