Sombras En Tiempos Perdidos

Jaguares' song 'Sombras En Tiempos Perdidos' delves into the complexities of love and existence, using rich metaphors and evocative imagery. The lyrics open with a journey through the 'microscopic crystal' of a lover's skin, suggesting an intimate exploration of another's essence. This microscopic view symbolizes a deep, almost scientific examination of the relationship, where the narrator feels both lost and connected, as indicated by the repeated line 'de esquina a esquina te pierdo' (from corner to corner, I lose you).

The chorus, 'Somos sombras en tiempos perdidos' (We are shadows in lost times), captures a sense of existential disorientation. The lovers are depicted as shadows, ephemeral and insubstantial, navigating through a time that feels lost or out of sync. This metaphor suggests a feeling of being out of place or disconnected from the present, perhaps reflecting on the transient nature of life and love.

The plea to 'hazme creer que todo es verdad' (make me believe that everything is true) and 'hazme brincar sobre el mar' (make me jump over the sea) speaks to a desire for reassurance and transcendence. The narrator seeks to break through the 'crystal' that clouds their perception, yearning for clarity and understanding in a confusing world. The song's repeated calls for unity and understanding, 'Junta tu rostro mojado con el mio' (Join your wet face with mine) and 'Junta tu monstruo dolido con el mio' (Join your hurt monster with mine), emphasize the need for connection and empathy in navigating these 'lost times.'

'Quiero romper el cristal que empaña mi cuerpo confuso y difuso' (I want to break the crystal that clouds my confused and diffuse body) further underscores the struggle for self-awareness and clarity. The song's haunting melody and poetic lyrics create a powerful reflection on the human condition, love, and the search for meaning in a seemingly disoriented world.
