Cielo Apunta Abajo

Libido's song 'Cielo Apunta Abajo' delves into the emotional turmoil and existential reflections that follow a significant separation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of waking up to the absence of a loved one, with the protagonist's mind feeling 'a little more blue than yesterday.' This sets the tone for a journey through feelings of loss and the struggle to find meaning in the void left behind.

The song employs metaphors of space and travel to illustrate the emotional distance and the sense of embarking on a solitary journey. Phrases like 'your spatial gaze' and 'pilot of chance' evoke a sense of navigating through an uncertain and vast emotional landscape. The 'suicide mission without success' suggests a desperate attempt to reconnect or find closure, which ultimately feels futile. The recurring line 'Cielo apunta abajo esta vez' (The sky points down this time) symbolizes a reversal of hope and direction, indicating a period of introspection and grounding.

Despite the melancholic tone, there is a glimmer of resilience. The protagonist acknowledges the pain but also expresses a belief in survival and moving forward. The line 'I think I will survive you' reflects a determination to overcome the heartache. The song's conclusion, with its repeated assertion that the sky points down, suggests a grounding in reality and an acceptance of the new emotional landscape. Libido's use of poetic language and metaphors creates a rich tapestry of emotions, making 'Cielo Apunta Abajo' a poignant exploration of loss, distance, and the journey towards healing.
