Cae (recae) la noche

La Liga Del Sueño's song 'Cae (recae) la noche' delves into the themes of darkness, urban decay, and the human condition. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a city that transforms as night falls, bringing with it a sense of foreboding and existential dread. The opening lines, 'Cae la noche y nace aquí la oscuridad,' set the tone for the entire song, suggesting that the night brings not just physical darkness but also a metaphorical one, where the light of day and the hope it represents are extinguished.

The song's imagery of 'caen los hombres' and 'nace una oscura ciudad' evokes a sense of loss and transformation. The city becomes a living entity, with its streets and veins pulsating with a frenetic energy. The protagonist's journey through this dark urban landscape is marked by encounters with broken bodies and desperate souls, symbolized by 'labios, cuerpos rotos.' This imagery suggests a world where people are fragmented and disconnected, seeking solace in fleeting and often destructive pleasures.

The refrain 'No quiero ver la luz del sol!' underscores a desire to escape reality and remain in the shadows. This rejection of daylight can be interpreted as a refusal to face the harsh truths of life, preferring instead the anonymity and obscurity that night offers. The repetition of 'Perdido en sus ojos' at the end of the song emphasizes a sense of being lost and entranced by the darkness, unable to break free from its grip. Through its haunting lyrics and evocative imagery, 'Cae (recae) la noche' captures the essence of urban alienation and the seductive allure of the night.
