En Los Sueños

Catupecu Machu's song 'En Los Sueños' is a poetic exploration of desire, memory, and the ephemeral nature of dreams. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is deeply immersed in their inner world, where dreams become a sanctuary for their emotions and longings. The recurring line 'Hoy te vi en los sueños' (Today I saw you in dreams) suggests a yearning for a person or a moment that is no longer present in reality but continues to live vividly in the dreamer's subconscious.

The imagery of water in the opening lines symbolizes change and the flow of life. The speaker acknowledges their transformation, comparing themselves to water that was once abundant but is now dry, hinting at a loss or a period of emotional drought. Yet, there is hope in the promise of renewal, as the water is expected to 'rain tomorrow.' This cycle of absence and return mirrors the nature of dreams, where the dreamt-of person or experience can be vividly felt, even if only temporarily.

The song also touches on the themes of time and emotional turbulence. Losing the 'notion of time' while kissing the person in the dream indicates a moment of escape from reality, where time has no hold. The journey 'with and against the wind' and waking up 'among torn sheets' suggest a struggle, possibly an internal one, where the dreamer experiences both happiness and a 'broken soul.' The duality of these emotions reflects the complexity of human experience, where joy and pain often coexist.
