Hada

The song 'Hada' by Estrago tells a poignant and surreal story of a girl who wakes up in a hospital, dressed like a fairy, with a magical wand. The imagery of her attire and the enchanted wand sets a fantastical tone, suggesting that she is in a dreamlike state or perhaps escaping from a harsh reality. The lyrics evoke a sense of innocence and vulnerability, as she dreams of comforting things like bread with milk and honey, and her grandmother waiting for her. However, this idyllic dream is disrupted by the presence of a menacing wolf, symbolizing danger and fear lurking in her subconscious.

The recurring line 'Princesa rompe cristal' (Princess, break the glass) serves as a powerful metaphor for breaking free from the barriers that separate her from reality. The glass represents the fragile yet formidable barrier between her dream world and the harsh truths of her life. The song suggests that her reality has been stolen from her, and she is trapped in a state of confusion and disorientation. The appearance of the hunter and the white fairy, who speaks softly and pricks her arm, hints at medical intervention, possibly a reference to treatment or therapy aimed at helping her regain her sense of self and reality.

As the girl begins to remember, her mind fills with 'small bubbles' that burst on her face, symbolizing the gradual return of memories and the painful process of confronting her reality. The song's refrain emphasizes the loss of reality and the hope for a different, better ending to her story. The repetition of 'Quien te robo la realidad' (Who stole your reality) underscores the central theme of lost innocence and the struggle to reclaim one's true self. 'Hada' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the delicate balance between fantasy and reality, and the resilience required to navigate the complexities of life.
