Somos

RAPHAEL RAPHAEL

The Melancholic Union of Souls in 'Somos' by RAPHAEL

In 'Somos,' RAPHAEL delves into the poignant and bittersweet nature of a love that is both deeply cherished and inherently doomed. The song opens with the idea of an 'impossible dream' that seeks the night to escape the harsh realities of time and reproach. This sets the tone for a narrative steeped in longing and the ephemeral nature of love. The night symbolizes a refuge, a place where the lovers can momentarily forget their troubles and immerse themselves in their shared dream.

The metaphor of 'two leaves that the wind brought together in autumn' beautifully captures the transient and fragile nature of their relationship. Autumn, a season often associated with change and decay, underscores the inevitability of their separation. Despite this, the leaves are 'doliente y querida'—painful yet beloved—highlighting the complex emotions that come with such a profound connection. The lovers are described as 'two beings in one,' whose love is so intense that it leads to their metaphorical death, a sacrifice to keep their deep affection a secret.

The recurring theme of separation is poignantly expressed through the imagery of 'two drops of tears in the same song.' This metaphor encapsulates their shared sorrow and the unity in their grief, even as they are apart. The song suggests that their love, though fraught with pain and separation, is a beautiful and integral part of their existence. The repetition of 'Nada más que eso somos'—'Nothing more than that we are'—emphasizes the simplicity and purity of their bond, stripped of all pretenses and reduced to its most essential form: a shared, melancholic song of love and loss.
