Aviones Plateados
El Ultimo De La Fila
The Longing of Unfulfilled Desires
The song "Aviones Plateados" by El Ultimo De La Fila, a Spanish rock band known for their poetic lyrics and melodic tunes, delves into themes of longing, introspection, and the paradox of desire. The lyrics paint a picture of someone observing the mundane details of a nearby house, such as clothes drying in the sun and planes grazing rooftops, from their own balcony. This perspective suggests a sense of distance and separation, possibly from a loved one or a desired life.
The protagonist reflects on their own state of being, noting a lack of appetite and a sense of having what they want, yet still feeling unfulfilled. The mention of being free in front of the mirror but not leaving the house even though they can, hints at a self-imposed isolation or an internal struggle. The song's chorus, where the protagonist is described as a 'soul from hell' and admits to always wanting what they can't have, underscores the theme of unrequited desire and the pain of absence.
The latter part of the song reveals a deeper layer of emotion with references to jealousy, a disheveled appearance, and a chaotic living space. The protagonist acknowledges the foolishness of their possessive credentials and the realization that their jealousy has consumed them. The song concludes with the protagonist coming to terms with a letter that caused confusion and understanding a warning glance that signifies a final departure, emphasizing the theme of learning from loss and the bittersweet nature of desire.
