Ángel Y Demonio

Los Auténticos Decadentes' song 'Ángel Y Demonio' delves into the complex emotions and experiences of love and parenthood. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the sleepless nights and the constant vigilance that come with caring for a child. The opening lines, 'Tropiezo dormido / Tanteando sigiloso el camino,' suggest the tentative and cautious steps of a parent navigating the challenges of raising a child. The singer checks if the child is breathing, a universal concern for parents, and acknowledges the inescapable demands of their role with 'No tengo otra opción.'

The song beautifully captures the duality of parenthood through the metaphor of an 'angel and demon.' This duality is reflected in the line 'Es un ángel y un demonio / Es igual a mí,' indicating that the child embodies both the purest joys and the most exhausting challenges. The lyrics 'El día y la noche / Vive sin dormir' further emphasize the relentless nature of parenting, where day and night blur together in a continuous cycle of care and love. Despite the hardships, the singer finds profound meaning and joy in their child's presence, as expressed in 'Tu risa desnuda / Sostiene mi alma / Siento tu calor / Me muero de amor.'

The song also touches on the transformative power of love and how it gives life a new sense of purpose. The lines 'Cambiaste mis días / Les diste sentido / Ahora que tu destino / Está ligado al mío' highlight how the arrival of the child has fundamentally changed the singer's life, imbuing it with new meaning and direction. The interplay of light and dark, joy and struggle, encapsulates the essence of parenthood, making 'Ángel Y Demonio' a heartfelt ode to the profound and often paradoxical experience of raising a child.
