Como Un Ángel

Marta Sanchez's song 'Como Un Ángel' delves into the harrowing experience of a woman trapped in an abusive relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her life over the past three years, where she initially believed she could find happiness. However, behind her smile lies a world of pain and suffering inflicted by her partner. The song poignantly captures the cycle of abuse, where the woman forgives her partner repeatedly, hoping for love to be a refuge from her pain. Yet, the abuse continues, and she is forced to hide her bruises and maintain a facade for the outside world.

The chorus reveals the depth of her despair, describing her as a soul without peace, bearing wounds that will never heal. In her dreams, she escapes the harsh reality, finding solace and freedom as she 'flies like an angel.' This metaphor of flight symbolizes her yearning for liberation and a life free from torment. The song takes a turn when she realizes that her child does not deserve to grow up in such an environment. This realization becomes a turning point, as she decides to leave and ensure a better future for her child.

In the final verses, the song reflects on her past, where she encounters her abuser again, now just a shadow of the past. This encounter signifies her growth and the distance she has put between herself and her painful history. 'Como Un Ángel' is a powerful narrative of resilience and the quest for freedom, highlighting the emotional and psychological scars left by domestic abuse. Marta Sanchez's emotive delivery and the poignant lyrics make this song a compelling anthem for those seeking to break free from the chains of abuse.
