Estallar

Cymbaline's song 'Estallar' delves into themes of transformation, escape, and the confrontation of fear. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both physical and emotional, where the protagonist seeks to break free from the constraints of their current reality. The opening lines, 'Ella tiene formas de nacer / Y algunas frías constantes que / Resisten y es así que da / Esa vuelta en el lugar,' suggest a rebirth or a new beginning, albeit one that is met with resistance and challenges. This sets the stage for a narrative of struggle and eventual liberation.

The recurring imagery of eyes and vision, 'Y de sus ojos solo deja ver / La parte simple y vacía también,' symbolizes a limited perspective that the protagonist is eager to expand. The mention of escaping and transforming, 'Y nosotros vamos a escapar / Y transformarnos en lo que vendrá,' highlights a desire for change and the anticipation of a new, perhaps better, future. This transformation is not just a physical escape but also an emotional and psychological one, as the protagonist seeks to leave behind the 'simple and empty' aspects of their current life.

Fear is a central theme in 'Estallar,' depicted as a vast ocean, 'Cuando el miedo sea un mar después / Y las olas te quieran tener.' The waves represent the overwhelming nature of fear, yet the song encourages facing it head-on. The ceremonies mentioned, 'Las ceremonias el lugar / Para invitarnos a estallar,' suggest a ritualistic or communal aspect to this confrontation, where breaking free ('estallar') is a collective experience. The imagery of lights exploding and marks disappearing, 'Mira como estallan las luces lejos de vos / Y desaparecen las marcas que dejamos,' signifies the shedding of past burdens and the illumination of a new path forward. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and resilience, urging listeners to listen to the signals around them and move away from fear towards transformation.
