Desposeídos

Eterna Inocencia's song "Desposeídos" delves deep into themes of loss, memory, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of someone grappling with the absence of a loved one, whose departure has left a lasting impact. The opening lines, "El destello que tu caída dejó fue lo que encendió mis ojos," suggest that the fall or loss of this person has illuminated the narrator's perspective, perhaps bringing a painful clarity to their life. The use of words like "fuerza," "violencia," and "sin razón" underscores the chaotic and uncontrollable nature of this loss, emphasizing that it was something beyond their control or understanding.

The song continues to explore the innocence and purity of the departed soul, as seen in the lines "... y allí está tu alma, inocente buscando resguardar melodías que creamos para vos ayer..." This evokes a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, where shared memories and melodies once brought joy. The contrast between the past and present is stark, with the narrator lamenting how the eyes that once shone brightly are now dimmed, and the mornings filled with tears and restlessness no longer accompany the dew.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the narrator is struggling to come to terms with the finality of this loss. The imagery of water retreating and unreachable shores symbolizes the distance and unattainability of the past. The lines "ilusiones que no serán realidad" and "¿Adónde descanzarán tus sueños?" highlight the shattered dreams and unanswered questions that linger. The narrator's search for truth and understanding is met with the harsh reality that some answers may never be found, as encapsulated in the closing lines, "busco sabiendo que no podré siquiera encontrar una pista que me arroje la verdad." The song ends on a haunting note, with the realization that the departed has taken a "sorbo del sol," a sip of the sun, perhaps signifying a final, irreversible departure into the light.
