Témpano Hielo

In 'Témpano Hielo,' Eloy delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship where emotional detachment and unfulfilled desires take center stage. The song's title, which translates to 'Iceberg,' serves as a metaphor for the singer's cold and unyielding heart. Eloy acknowledges that his partner's actions are often driven by a desire to please him, yet he remains emotionally unavailable, likening his heart to a block of ice. This stark contrast between his partner's genuine emotions and his own emotional frigidity sets the tone for the entire song.

Eloy paints a vivid picture of a woman who is trapped in a cycle of deceit and unfulfilled longing. She seeks pleasure and excitement in secret, risking everything for fleeting moments of passion. Despite her efforts, Eloy remains indifferent, advising her to stay with her current partner who truly loves her. He admits that he cannot offer the emotional depth she craves, as he does not believe in the fairy tales of love. This admission highlights the inherent conflict between their desires and realities, making it clear that their relationship is built on shaky ground.

The song also touches on themes of temptation and consequence. Eloy describes how the woman was lured into experimenting with him, despite having a stable and loving relationship. Her actions, driven by curiosity and a desire for something new, ultimately lead to her downfall. Eloy portrays himself as a 'maldito necio' (damned fool) and 'ingrato egoísta' (ungrateful selfish person), acknowledging his role in her suffering. The repeated refrain emphasizes the futility of seeking something in him that he cannot provide, urging her to heed the advice of her friends and end the toxic cycle.
