Cometa

In 'Cometa,' Juliana delves into the ephemeral nature of love and the pain of separation. The song opens with a sense of longing and nostalgia, as the narrator reflects on the twelve nights spent without their partner's warmth. The imagery of lost memories from a shared trip through the snow highlights the fleeting moments of joy that now seem distant and unreachable. This sets the tone for a song that is deeply introspective and filled with emotional turmoil.

The chorus emphasizes the efforts made to keep the relationship alive, with the lovers promising to cross 'more than a thousand rivers' to stay together. Despite their best efforts, they find themselves lost and wounded, victims of their own fears and lies. The repetition of being 'abatidos' (defeated) underscores the emotional toll that the relationship has taken on both parties. The use of war imagery, such as 'two wounded' and 'defeated by fear,' adds a layer of intensity to the emotional struggle, making it clear that love can sometimes feel like a battlefield.

The song concludes with a poignant realization that despite giving everything to the relationship, they never got to 'fly a kite' together. This metaphor of the kite represents unfulfilled dreams and aspirations, symbolizing the innocence and freedom that they never achieved. Juliana's 'Cometa' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of love's impermanence, the pain of lost connections, and the bittersweet memories that linger long after the relationship has ended.
