Demasiado Lejos

In 'Demasiado Lejos,' Fabio Cadore delves into the profound sense of loss and longing that accompanies physical and emotional distance from a loved one. The song opens with the poignant realization that without the presence of the beloved, the world loses its vibrancy and meaning. The imagery of 'altamar' (open sea) and 'lejos del alma' (far from the soul) evokes a sense of being adrift and disconnected, emphasizing the depth of the emotional chasm created by their absence.

As the lyrics progress, Cadore explores the impact of this separation on his daily life. The absence of the loved one is likened to the sun disappearing, leaving a place where the sky refuses to open up, symbolizing a world devoid of hope and light. The mention of 'llanto y cenizas' (tears and ashes) further underscores the desolation and mourning that permeate his existence. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope as he expresses a desire to one day find their kisses again, hinting at a longing for reconciliation or reunion.

The chorus captures the physical and emotional reactions to the separation, with trembling legs and cold, clumsy hands symbolizing the anxiety and nervousness that come with the thought of seeing the loved one again. The repetition of 'lejos' (far) in various forms—'tan lejos,' 'muy lejos'—reinforces the overwhelming sense of distance and the difficulty in bridging the gap. The song poignantly captures the struggle of moving forward while feeling that a part of oneself is irretrievably lost, highlighting the enduring impact of love and loss on the human spirit.
