Un Monstruo

Pauline En La Playa's song 'Un Monstruo' delves into the darker, hidden aspects of the human psyche through the metaphor of a monster. The lyrics describe a creature that hides in closets and feeds on the screams of children, painting a vivid picture of fear and secrecy. This monster represents the parts of ourselves that we keep hidden from the world, the fears and anxieties that we try to suppress but that inevitably find their way into our lives, especially in the quiet and solitude of the night.

The recurring line 'Y esta noche dormiré dentro de tu habitación' (And tonight I will sleep inside your room) suggests an intimate invasion of personal space, symbolizing how these hidden fears and anxieties can infiltrate our most private moments. The monster's actions, such as trying on children's clothes and digesting their screams, further emphasize the idea of consuming and internalizing fear. This can be interpreted as a commentary on how we often internalize our traumas and let them shape our identities.

The song also touches on the theme of escapism through the line 'Mis recreos son los oscuros sueños' (My recesses are dark dreams). This suggests that the monster, and by extension the person it represents, finds solace in the darkness, in dreams and nightmares. The act of making puzzles with pieces of torment indicates a complex relationship with pain and suffering, perhaps hinting at the idea that we try to make sense of our traumas by piecing them together in our minds. Pauline En La Playa uses these metaphors to explore the complexities of the human condition, making 'Un Monstruo' a haunting yet deeply introspective song.
