Jugando Con El Tiempo

Mikel Erentxun's song 'Jugando Con El Tiempo' is a poetic exploration of love, time, and the emotional complexities that come with them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of waiting and longing, as the narrator describes being adrift and entangled in the dreams of a loved one. The phrase 'jugando con el tiempo' (playing with time) suggests a sense of timelessness and the fluid nature of their relationship, where moments stretch and contract based on emotional intensity.

The imagery in the song is rich and evocative. Lines like 'eternamente quieto' (eternally still) and 'aliento con aliento' (breath with breath) convey a deep sense of intimacy and anticipation. The narrator is in a state of suspended animation, waiting for the visit of their beloved. The use of metaphors such as 'besos de cristal' (crystal kisses) and 'la luna encendida' (the lit moon) adds layers of meaning, suggesting fragility, purity, and a guiding light in the darkness.

Erentxun also delves into the duality of emotions with lines like 'la daga que cruzó' (the dagger that crossed) and 'la hiena, el escorpión' (the hyena, the scorpion), juxtaposed with 'tú la flor que vive al lado' (you the flower that lives beside). This contrast highlights the tension between pain and beauty, danger and tenderness, which are intrinsic to love. The song's melancholic tone is underscored by the imagery of a night without a smile, emphasizing the loneliness and yearning that accompany the wait for a loved one. Through 'Jugando Con El Tiempo,' Erentxun masterfully captures the essence of love's complexities, making it a poignant and relatable piece for listeners.
