Espinas

In 'Espinas,' Juli Savioli delves into the complexities of self-awareness and emotional struggle. The song's title, which translates to 'Thorns,' sets the tone for a narrative filled with pain, introspection, and the quest for healing. The opening lines reveal a desire to shed the defenses that the singer has built around herself, suggesting a longing for vulnerability and authenticity. This theme is further explored as she admits to the difficulty of being stronger than the negative voices in her mind, which often dictate her actions and emotions.

The chorus poignantly captures the cyclical nature of her emotional turmoil. The repetition of 'Hace tiempo no me siento bien' ('I haven't felt well for a long time') and 'Vuelvo donde no quería volver' ('I return to where I didn't want to go back') underscores a sense of being trapped in a loop of past traumas and unresolved issues. The imagery of removing thorns from her skin symbolizes the painful but necessary process of confronting and healing from these emotional wounds. The persistent rain mentioned in the lyrics serves as a metaphor for ongoing sadness and the challenges of finding clarity and peace.

Savioli's introspective lyrics are complemented by a haunting melody that enhances the song's emotional depth. The verses describe a physical and emotional exhaustion, where the body demands rest and the heart feels exposed and vulnerable. Despite the heaviness, there is an underlying honesty and resilience in her words. The song resonates with anyone who has faced inner battles and sought to reclaim their sense of self amidst the chaos. 'Espinas' is a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to confront one's inner demons and the ongoing journey towards self-acceptance and healing.
