Los Sueños Y Las Guerras

“Los Sueños Y Las Guerras” by Divididos is a poignant exploration of the internal and external battles that people face. The song opens with the acknowledgment that while everything can be said, there is a need for rest, hinting at the exhaustion that comes from constant struggle. The mention of a 'great war' serves as a metaphor for the personal and societal conflicts that individuals endure. This war is not just a physical battle but also an emotional and psychological one, reflecting the turmoil within and around us.

The lyrics describe 'idiot angels' who have cast the protagonist into hell, a powerful image that suggests betrayal or abandonment by those who were supposed to protect or guide. This hell is not a solitary experience; the line 'and there we all were, all of us' implies a shared suffering, a collective experience of pain and hardship. The act of pulling glass from one's feet and head symbolizes the painful and often unnoticed efforts to heal and move forward, efforts that go unrecognized and uncompensated.

The repetition of 'son los sueños' (they are dreams) towards the end of the song brings a sense of ambiguity. Dreams can be a source of hope and aspiration, but they can also be elusive and unattainable, leading to frustration and despair. This duality captures the essence of the human condition, where dreams and wars coexist, shaping our experiences and perceptions. Divididos uses vivid imagery and emotional depth to convey a message that resonates with anyone who has faced their own battles, both seen and unseen.
