Piel de Angel

El Poder Del Norte's song 'Piel de Angel' delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a clandestine love affair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that must be kept hidden from the world, a love that thrives in the shadows. The recurring theme of secrecy is evident as the narrator describes their meetings in a 'white bed like snow,' a metaphor for purity and innocence, yet their love is anything but innocent in the eyes of society. The time frame 'from 6 to 9' suggests a limited window for their love to flourish, emphasizing the constraints and pressures they face.

The song's chorus highlights the emotional intensity and physical passion of this hidden relationship. The narrator confesses to loving 'a escondidas' (in secret), likening themselves to a coward for not being able to love openly. This secrecy causes their soul to vibrate and their body to burn, indicating the profound impact this love has on them. The phrase 'me siento piel de angel' (I feel like angel skin) suggests a sense of purity and transcendence in their love, despite the societal judgment they face.

'Piel de Angel' also touches on the societal scrutiny and judgment that come with forbidden love. The lovers are the 'favorite conversation' of people who consider themselves perfect, highlighting the hypocrisy and moral policing prevalent in society. The song captures the essence of forbidden love, the pain of hiding true feelings, and the longing for acceptance. El Poder Del Norte, known for their romantic and poignant lyrics, beautifully encapsulates the bittersweet nature of such a relationship, making 'Piel de Angel' a powerful and relatable ballad for anyone who has experienced love against the odds.
