Cerrando Bien Mis Ojos

La Forma's song 'Cerrando Bien Mis Ojos' delves deep into themes of despair, existential crisis, and the search for peace. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is closing their eyes to escape the harsh realities of life. The opening lines suggest a longing for a place where the protagonist doesn't have to fight but can simply let go. This place, however, is not a utopia; it is a realm where their dreams and creations are destroyed, symbolizing the crushing of hope and aspirations.

The chorus, 'Este mundo se acabo, lo dejo todo y me voy con Dios,' translates to 'This world is over, I leave everything and go with God.' This line indicates a profound sense of resignation and a desire to escape the pain of existence. The protagonist feels lost and purposeless, as reflected in the lines 'Y yo que mierda hago aquí, si no tengo a donde ir,' which means 'And what the hell am I doing here if I have nowhere to go.' The struggle and repeated failures lead to a cycle of fighting and dying, both literally and metaphorically.

The song's closing lines, 'Tengo frío en las manos, alguien me esta llamando, ya se cierran mis ojos,' which means 'My hands are cold, someone is calling me, my eyes are closing,' evoke a sense of finality and surrender. The protagonist feels a cold detachment from life, and the call they hear could be interpreted as a call to the afterlife or a deeper state of unconsciousness. The repetition of 'se cierran mis ojos' emphasizes the act of closing one's eyes, symbolizing a retreat from the world and a surrender to whatever comes next. La Forma uses these powerful metaphors to explore the depths of human despair and the search for peace in the face of insurmountable struggles.
