Como Un Angel
Fey
The Haunting Presence of Lost Love in 'Como Un Angel'
Fey's song 'Como Un Angel' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a love that lingers even after it has ended. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is haunted by the presence of a past lover, feeling their presence even when they are not physically there. This haunting sensation is a common theme in songs about lost love, where the memories and emotions associated with the person continue to affect the one left behind. The line '¿Por qué te siento aquí? Si no te puedo ver' encapsulates this feeling of an invisible yet palpable presence.
The metaphor of the angel is central to the song, symbolizing the ethereal and almost supernatural connection that the singer feels with their lost love. The angel appears in dreams, offering words of love and reassurance, yet the reality is starkly different. The singer is left alone, dancing with 'las alas rotas de dolor,' or 'broken wings of pain,' which signifies the deep emotional scars left by the relationship. This imagery of broken wings also suggests a fall from grace, a loss of innocence, and the heavy burden of unfulfilled love.
Fey's musical style, often characterized by its emotional depth and melodic richness, enhances the poignant message of the song. The recurring theme of singing 'mil canciones con el corazón' or 'a thousand songs with the heart' underscores the cathartic process of expressing pain through music. The hope that the lost lover might hear these songs and understand the depth of the singer's sorrow adds another layer of longing and unrequited love. 'Como Un Angel' is a powerful exploration of the enduring impact of lost love and the struggle to move on while still feeling tethered to the past.
