Relicario de Besos
Grupo Pegasso
Breaking Free from the Relic of Forgotten Kisses
Grupo Pegasso's song "Relicario de Besos" delves into the emotional journey of moving on from a past relationship that has lost its significance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of transformation and liberation. The opening lines, "Cambie de paja y de nido, Otros el sitio del hecho," suggest a change in the protagonist's environment and mindset. This change is driven by the pain and bleeding of their emotional wounds, symbolized by the lines "Porque sangran ya mis venas, Rompí todas las cadenas." The act of breaking chains signifies a release from the constraints of a past love that no longer serves them.
The song continues to explore the theme of renewal and new beginnings. The imagery of the bells no longer tolling, "Ya no doblan las campanas," contrasts with the past when they did, indicating a shift in the protagonist's emotional state. The light of a new star entering through the window, "Entra la luz de otra estrella," symbolizes hope and the promise of a brighter future. This new light replaces the darkness of the past, allowing the protagonist to embrace a new dawn.
The chorus, "Porque sí aquel relicario de besos que yo te ofreciera lo echaste al olvido," reveals the core of the song's message. The 'relicario de besos' or 'relic of kisses' represents the cherished memories and affection once shared, now forgotten and discarded by the former lover. The protagonist's response, filled with justified anger and tears, is to dismantle the nest they built together, symbolizing the end of the relationship and the beginning of a new chapter. This act of destruction is not just an end but a necessary step towards healing and moving forward.
