Castillo de Cera

In 'Castillo de Cera,' Dvicio delves into the complexities of love, self-perception, and the internal battles we face. The song opens with a vivid metaphor: the piano's black keys have blended into the white, symbolizing a loss of clarity and distinction. This imagery sets the tone for a narrative about confusion and the struggle to see things as they truly are. The mention of zebras, whose stripes become indistinguishable at night, further emphasizes this theme of obscured vision and hidden truths.

The lyrics then shift to a more introspective focus, questioning the value of mirrors that only reflect the surface. Instead, the singer urges a deeper connection, one that looks beyond appearances. This is a call to confront one's inner self, even if it means facing uncomfortable truths. The line 'Descubres tu enemigo mirándote el ombligo' (You discover your enemy by looking at your navel) suggests that our greatest adversaries are often within us, not external forces. This introspection is juxtaposed with the thrill and danger of breaking societal norms, highlighting the addictive nature of challenging the status quo.

The chorus brings a poignant contrast between the two characters in the song. The singer describes himself as 'roto por fuera' (broken on the outside) and 'color blanco y negro' (black and white), while his partner is 'tan viva por dentro' (so alive inside) and 'mi acuarela' (my watercolor). This imagery paints a picture of a relationship where one person feels damaged and monochromatic, while the other is vibrant and full of life. The 'castillo de cera' (castle of wax) symbolizes something beautiful yet fragile, easily melted by the heat of passion. The song ultimately explores the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, and the transformative power of love and self-awareness.
