Renfe

In 'Renfe,' Hens delves into the emotional aftermath of a past relationship, using the metaphor of catching the last train to symbolize his desperate attempts to hold onto fleeting moments with a former lover. The song's title, 'Renfe,' refers to Spain's national railway network, which becomes a poignant backdrop for the narrative of longing and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is disillusioned and struggling to find joy in his daily life, as he reminisces about the times he would take the last train just to spend a little more time with his significant other.

The recurring theme of sleepless nights and the struggle to move on is evident in lines like 'Inventando trucos para dormir / Para no pensar en ti,' which translates to 'Inventing tricks to sleep / To not think about you.' This highlights the protagonist's internal battle to forget his past love, even though he knows that both of them are still thinking about each other. The song captures the essence of unspoken emotions and the difficulty of letting go, as the protagonist finds himself stuck in a loop of memories and what-ifs.

Hens' use of everyday scenarios, such as looking into a drink and feeling like an 'idiot,' adds a layer of relatability to the song. The imagery of the train station, the last train, and the goodbyes at Renfe serve as powerful symbols of missed opportunities and the passage of time. The song's melancholic tone is further emphasized by the repetitive chorus, which underscores the protagonist's yearning and the futility of his efforts to reconnect with his past. 'Renfe' is a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and the lingering impact of a relationship that once was.
