Estrella polar

Pereza's song "Estrella Polar" delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a place called the Avenue of the Polar Star, where the arrival of winter signifies a period of emotional coldness and reflection. The imagery of dead leaves and a sun that fails to warm the bones sets a melancholic tone, suggesting a relationship that has lost its warmth and vitality.

The song explores the internal conflict of the narrator, who is armed with metaphorical bullets but hesitates to use them, questioning whether the blame for the deteriorating relationship lies with them or others. This hesitation reflects a deeper struggle with guilt and responsibility, highlighting the emotional turmoil that accompanies the end of a meaningful connection. The line "Con los pies fríos no se piensa bien" (With cold feet, one doesn't think well) underscores the difficulty of making clear decisions when overwhelmed by emotional distress.

As the song progresses, it reminisces about the beautiful moments shared on the Avenue of the Polar Star, where kisses were precious and a shooting star from the bed evoked tenderness. However, these moments of intimacy and complicity have been consumed by the metaphorical hell of lost passion and misunderstandings. The recurring refrain, "Hoy cielo, vienes a por mí, pero por dios, no dejo de pensar que aquí no hay sitio para los dos" (Today, heaven, you come for me, but for God's sake, I can't stop thinking that there's no room for both of us here), encapsulates the inevitable conclusion that the relationship cannot continue as it is, leaving the narrator to grapple with the painful reality of separation.
