Frente Al Cementerio

Reincidentes' song 'Frente Al Cementerio' delves deep into the themes of existential despair and the search for peace. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person passing by a cemetery, feeling envious of those who have found eternal rest. This imagery sets the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's yearning for an end to their suffering. The cold air and dark imagination further emphasize the bleakness of their thoughts, while the ominous rain hints at an inevitable, perhaps tragic, conclusion.

The song's chorus introduces a metaphorical family that embodies the protagonist's emotional state. 'Mi madre es la soledad' (My mother is loneliness), 'mi padre es el fracaso' (my father is failure), and 'mis hermanos la angustia y el hastío' (my siblings are anguish and boredom) illustrate a life overshadowed by negative emotions and experiences. This personification of feelings as family members underscores the depth of the protagonist's despair and isolation, making it clear that these emotions are deeply ingrained and ever-present.

In the verses, the protagonist describes themselves as a beast, a child, a castaway, and a pin, indicating a fragmented sense of identity and a struggle to find their place in the world. The lack of love and guidance in their life has left them feeling lost and unable to cope with their circumstances. The repetition of the familial metaphor in the chorus reinforces the idea that these feelings are inescapable and have shaped the protagonist's entire existence. Through 'Frente Al Cementerio,' Reincidentes captures the profound sense of hopelessness and the longing for release that can accompany deep emotional pain.
