Ouija

In 'Ouija' by Los Enemigos, the lyrics delve into the mysterious and often unsettling realm of communication with the afterlife. The song opens with a plea for confirmation of peace in the afterlife, asking, 'Dime si es verdad que al fin descansas' (Tell me if it's true that you finally rest). This line sets the tone for a conversation with a departed soul, reflecting a deep yearning for reassurance and closure. The speaker's desperation is palpable as they admit to not hearing the voice of the deceased, highlighting the silence and void left behind by their absence.

The song continues with a series of questions that paint a vivid picture of the unknown. 'Cuéntame que ves tan lejos' (Tell me what you see so far away) and 'Al otro lado del espejo' (On the other side of the mirror) suggest a curiosity about the afterlife and what lies beyond the physical world. The mirror metaphor is particularly poignant, symbolizing the thin veil between life and death, and the desire to peer through it to understand what awaits us.

Further into the song, the lyrics explore the nature of the afterlife with questions like '¿Es verdad que no hay calor ni frío?' (Is it true that there is no heat or cold?) and '¿Hablaste con Él? ¿Le has visto ya?' (Did you speak with Him? Have you seen Him yet?). These lines reflect a quest for spiritual knowledge and a connection with a higher power. The mention of 'Él' (Him) could be interpreted as a reference to God or a divine being, indicating a search for spiritual validation. The song closes with a poignant inquiry about the continued bond of friendship, '¿Eres aún amigo mío?' (Are you still my friend?), and a longing to know if the departed has reunited with others, '¿Viste ya a todos los demás?' (Have you seen all the others yet?). This ending underscores the human need for connection and the hope that relationships endure beyond death.
