Las Historias Que Tengo

Color Humano's song 'Las Historias Que Tengo' is a poetic exploration of personal history, inner turmoil, and the quest for meaning. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a life marked by experiences that have left indelible marks on the narrator's soul. The phrase 'Las historias que tengo ya cocidas en mi espalda' (The stories I have already sewn into my back) suggests that these experiences are deeply ingrained, almost as if they are a part of the narrator's very being. This imagery of stories being sewn into one's back evokes a sense of permanence and the inescapable nature of one's past.

The song delves into the duality of human nature, as seen in the line 'Mi bruja está besando a mi ángel' (My witch is kissing my angel). This juxtaposition of the witch and the angel symbolizes the internal conflict between good and evil, sanity and madness. The narrator's journey is one of seeking sustenance beyond the ordinary, as indicated by 'Este cazador busca su alimento más allá' (This hunter seeks his food beyond). This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the search for deeper meaning or spiritual fulfillment.

The recurring theme of 'camino a campos de riquezas más extrañas' (walking to fields of stranger riches) suggests a journey towards unknown and perhaps mystical realms. The 'alborada tupida' (dense dawn) covering the scars of past campaigns implies a new beginning or a fresh start, despite the wounds of the past. The mention of 'un idioma brutal destelló con campanas y cuerdas' (a brutal language flashed with bells and strings) adds a layer of complexity, hinting at the harsh realities and the beauty intertwined in the narrator's experiences. This song is a profound reflection on the human condition, the scars we carry, and the continuous search for meaning in a world full of contradictions.
