Peces Abisales

Doctor Deseo's song 'Peces Abisales' delves into the complexities of love, passion, and the inevitable pain that accompanies deep emotional connections. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship filled with intense emotions—magic, sweat, fluids, madness, passion, and tenderness. These elements create a sense of overwhelming intensity, where time seems to stand still, and the world is set ablaze with the fires of love and desire. The imagery of stopped clocks, fires, volcanoes, and moons adds to the surreal and almost otherworldly experience of being in love.

However, the song also addresses the darker side of this emotional intensity. The 'viejos y ciegos dolores' (old and blind pains) are likened to 'peces abisales' (abyssal fish), creatures from the depths that haunt and disrupt life from the shadows of forgotten memories. This metaphor suggests that unresolved past traumas and pains can resurface and affect the present, making it difficult to navigate the relationship. The struggle to 'nadar por el fondo' (swim at the bottom) and 'bucear en la herida' (dive into the wound) highlights the challenge of confronting and healing these deep-seated issues, especially when a simple 'te quiero' (I love you) is not enough to mend the wounds.

The chorus reflects the uncertainty and vulnerability that come with such intense emotions. The difficulty of maintaining direction amidst personal storms is palpable, and the repeated line 'Cualquier noche, mi amor, me derrumbo' (Any night, my love, I collapse) underscores the fragility of the narrator's emotional state. The indecision between continuing to fight for the relationship or choosing to 'naufragar' (shipwreck) reveals the internal conflict and the toll that such a tumultuous relationship can take. Ultimately, 'Peces Abisales' is a poignant exploration of the highs and lows of love, the haunting nature of past pains, and the struggle to find stability in the midst of emotional chaos.
