Diario De Una Madre
HAZE (ES)
A Mother's Unyielding Love and Despair
HAZE's song "Diario De Una Madre" is a poignant narrative that delves into the heart-wrenching experiences of a mother grappling with the anguish of losing her son to the perils of urban life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relentless struggle, where the mother’s love is unconditional, yet her fight against despair seems never-ending. Her youth, once vibrant, now feels like a punishment as she navigates through a metaphorical garden of withered flowers, symbolizing her fading hope and joy.
The song's chorus is a cry of desperation, where the mother pleads for the whereabouts of her son, expressing the deep sorrow and fear that his absence brings. The lyrics suggest that the son has lost his innocence, possibly to crime or addiction, which incarcerates the mother's heart in a prison of fear and suffering. This emotional turmoil is further emphasized by the mother's dreams, filled with silent tears and distant from the harsh realities of life, symbolized by the 'cristales' and 'rejas' (bars).
In a dialogue with a higher power, the mother seeks solace and assistance, praying for her son's safety and guidance. The response she receives is both comforting and tragic, as it reveals that her son has been seduced by the 'diablo' with 'muerte blanca' (a metaphor for drugs). Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope as the higher power assures her that while her son's physical freedom is lost, his mind remains free in dreams. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the mother's unwavering love and the divine promise to safeguard her son's soul, encapsulating the themes of maternal devotion, despair, and the search for redemption.
