El

Pedro Aznar's song 'El' delves into the profound and often enigmatic relationship between humanity and the divine. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a being that is omnipresent and omniscient. The opening lines, 'Los ojos de tu carne ven el brillo / Del insufrible sol,' suggest a contrast between the physical limitations of human perception and the boundless vision of the divine. This being is not only the light but also the darkness and everything in between, embodying the totality of existence.

The song continues to explore this theme by describing the divine as both the observer and the observed. 'Desde incesantes ojos / Te mira y es los ojos que un reflejo / Indagan y los ojos del espejo,' portrays a God who is ever-watchful, seeing through countless eyes, including those of humans and even reflections in mirrors. This omnipresence is further emphasized by the mention of 'las negras hidras y los tigres rojos,' symbolizing the divine's presence in both the monstrous and the majestic aspects of creation.

Aznar also touches on the idea of the divine experiencing the world through its creations. 'No le basta crear. Es cada una / De las criaturas de Su extraño mundo,' suggests that God is not content with merely creating but also becomes each of His creations. This culminates in the poignant line, 'Me llamaban Caín. Por mí el eterno / Sabe el sabor del fuego del infierno,' where the speaker, identified as Cain, implies that through his actions, even the divine has tasted the bitterness of hell. This line encapsulates the song's exploration of the interconnectedness between the divine and the mortal, the creator and the created.
