Prisión

Mar De Copas' song 'Prisión' delves into the emotional and psychological confinement experienced by the narrator. The opening lines describe a bleak, gray landscape, symbolizing a state of emotional desolation. The 'dominios de tu aroma' (domains of your scent) suggests a lingering presence of a past relationship or memory that continues to haunt the narrator. The act of 'cruzar del otro lado' (crossing to the other side) and seeing someone for the first time through time indicates a moment of realization or confrontation with past emotions.

The song continues to explore the theme of memory and its impact on the present. The narrator reflects on 'recordando lento y andando' (remembering slowly and walking), indicating a journey through memories that are still vivid and alive. The repetition of 'Prisión!' emphasizes the feeling of being trapped by these memories. The lyrics suggest that new memories are just more to forget, new colors fade to black and white, and new passions must be hidden, highlighting a sense of futility and resignation.

In the final verses, the narrator speaks of living 'en marcha y firme' (in march and firm), suggesting a stoic acceptance of their solitary state. The line 'enamorado de la soledad' (in love with solitude) reveals a complex relationship with loneliness, where it becomes both a prison and a companion. The imagery of a man escaping to the mountains, only to realize it is himself, underscores the theme of self-imposed isolation and the struggle to find freedom within one's own mind. 'Prisión' is a poignant exploration of the emotional landscapes that confine us and the solitary journeys we undertake to navigate them.
