Luz Ni Tiempo

Delalma's 'Luz Ni Tiempo' is a profound exploration of the human psyche, delving into themes of duality, inner conflict, and existential despair. The song opens with the imagery of a being emerging from the light of a forest, symbolizing the birth of consciousness or self-awareness. This being is in a constant state of flight, running from its other self, which can be interpreted as the darker, hidden aspects of one's personality. The lyrics suggest a journey towards madness, with the protagonist arriving at a place where they might perish, surrounded by ivy and moss-covered stones, a metaphor for decay and the passage of time.

The recurring refrain, 'Duerme el viento, ya no siento y sé que no hay luz ni tiempo,' translates to 'The wind sleeps, I no longer feel and know that there is no light or time.' This line encapsulates the song's central theme of existential void and the absence of hope or direction. The protagonist's internal struggle is further highlighted by the plea to 'come to me, leave your faithful sin,' indicating a desire for redemption or escape from their torment. The imagery of a man trembling in the face of a gray rain and dragging a lie like a raven feeding its cruelest self adds to the sense of despair and inner turmoil.

In the latter part of the song, the protagonist reflects on their hidden self, the one beneath the armor they wear daily. This hidden self longs for skies it has never known and a distant love that feels ever-present. Despite the fear and uncertainty, this other self dares to love, suggesting a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. The song concludes with a poignant acknowledgment of the duality of existence and the struggle to reconcile these conflicting aspects. The final lines, 'Only your God marches against the two of us, can a goodbye be your solution today,' leave the listener contemplating the possibility of finding peace through faith or acceptance of one's fate.
