Canción nisiquiera negra

Los Enemigos' song 'Canción nisiquiera negra' delves deep into the psyche of someone grappling with the haunting memories of their past. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of internal turmoil, where the protagonist feels as though the ghosts of their childhood are choking them, seeking vengeance from within. The imagery of 'colas de indigentes' (lines of indigents) running through the throat suggests a sense of suffocation and desperation, possibly hinting at a troubled or impoverished upbringing that continues to haunt the narrator.

The recurring mention of 'la humedad' (the humidity) being 'tan sucia y tan fría' (so dirty and so cold) symbolizes the oppressive and bleak environment of the narrator's past. This dampness stains the fragments of a broken mirror, a metaphor for the shattered self-image and the lingering pain that the protagonist still 'masticates' (chews on). The act of chewing on these shards, despite the plea for it to end, signifies the ongoing struggle to process and come to terms with these painful memories.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and abandonment. The line 'Nadie más que tú volvió a mirarse en él jamás' (No one else but you ever looked at it again) suggests a deep sense of loneliness and the feeling that no one else understands or shares the narrator's pain. The final lines, urging to let the wounds bleed out, reflect a desire for catharsis and release from this torment. Los Enemigos, known for their raw and gritty musical style, use these powerful metaphors to convey a profound emotional struggle, making 'Canción nisiquiera negra' a poignant exploration of inner demons and the quest for healing.
