Cicatrices

Perrozompopo's song 'Cicatrices' delves into the profound and often painful experiences that leave lasting marks on our lives, both physically and emotionally. The word 'cicatrices' translates to 'scars' in English, and the lyrics explore the various forms these scars can take. The song opens with a vivid description of scars becoming visible under certain conditions—when exposed to light, during moments of intense emotion, or in the aftermath of a passionate kiss. These scars are not just physical but also emotional, representing the lingering effects of past traumas and intense experiences.

The second verse shifts focus to the scars left by love and loss. The imagery of a mouth bearing scars from kissing other mouths suggests the emotional wounds inflicted by past relationships. The lyrics also touch on the inevitability of death and the passage of time, which leave their own indelible marks. The repetition of 'cicatrices' emphasizes the pervasive nature of these scars, which are likened to the corners of pain and the suffocating effects of wine.

In the final verse, the song reflects on the cumulative impact of life's challenges. The days leave their marks, and the hours remind us of the scars we must come to understand. The world, with its harsh realities, cuts into our desires and dreams, leaving us to stitch the sky back together. The fear of losing everything—sanity, time, the very breath of life—is palpable. Yet, there is a yearning for moments free from censorship, silence, and sorrow. The song closes with a haunting repetition of the imagery of suffocating wine and the raw exposure of anger and pain, encapsulating the essence of 'Cicatrices' as a poignant meditation on the scars that shape us.
