Energia

Pastilla's song 'Energia' delves into the themes of emotional exhaustion and liberation. The lyrics describe a profound sense of being drained, as the narrator's energy is metaphorically 'ripped away' by someone with 'fists of carnations.' This imagery suggests a paradoxical combination of beauty and violence, indicating that the source of this emotional turmoil is someone close and cherished, yet capable of causing deep pain. The use of 'claveles' (carnations) adds a cultural layer, as these flowers are often associated with love and admiration in Latin culture, further emphasizing the complexity of the relationship.

The narrator then describes being 'buried with your nails in the lower earth,' a vivid metaphor for feeling trapped and overwhelmed by the weight of this relationship. However, the song takes a transformative turn as the narrator escapes 'in the form of a violet light.' This escape symbolizes a rebirth or a spiritual awakening, where the narrator transcends their previous state of suffering. The color violet often represents spirituality and enlightenment, suggesting that the narrator has found a higher state of being or understanding.

As the song progresses, the narrator travels 'with all energy through all this matter,' indicating a newfound freedom and vitality. The desire to communicate and teach ('I want to tell you, I want to show you') suggests that the narrator has gained valuable insights from their experience and wishes to share this wisdom. The repetition of escaping 'wrapped in a violet light' reinforces the theme of liberation and the transformative power of overcoming emotional struggles. Pastilla's 'Energia' ultimately portrays a journey from emotional depletion to spiritual renewal, encapsulated in the powerful imagery of violet light.
