Ballenas de Ruido

Da Pawn's 'Ballenas de Ruido' is a hauntingly poetic exploration of the power and impact of sound, particularly in the oceanic depths. The song opens with a vivid description of low frequencies that trigger cries and moans in the sea, likening these sounds to the song of a humpback whale. This imagery sets the stage for a journey through the underwater world, where sound waves travel and interact with marine life in profound ways.

The lyrics delve into the cold bursts of sound that seek warmth beneath the water's surface, creating melodies that can open bodies and break atoms. This metaphorical language suggests the transformative and sometimes destructive power of sound. The repeated phrase 'Y Aniquila' (And Annihilates) underscores the devastating effects, as fish are left lifeless and sirens (mythical sea creatures) faint, their ecstasy causing the tides to rise. This vivid imagery paints a picture of an underwater realm where sound is both a creator and a destroyer.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and darkness, with references to tons of salty water and eardrums bursting from solitude. The 'ballenas de ruido azul' (blue noise whales) symbolize the overwhelming and often melancholic presence of sound in the ocean. Da Pawn's use of rich, evocative language and metaphors invites listeners to reflect on the unseen and often unheard forces that shape our world, particularly in the mysterious and vast oceanic depths.
