Invierno

In 'Invierno,' Roi Méndez delves into the emotional landscape of fear, longing, and the search for solace. The song opens with poignant questions: 'Dime de qué color es el miedo' (Tell me what color fear is) and 'Dime a qué huelen los días de lluvia' (Tell me what rainy days smell like). These lines set a contemplative tone, inviting listeners to reflect on the intangible and often overwhelming nature of fear and sadness. The request for a story with a happy ending underscores a yearning for hope amidst adversity.

The recurring line 'Avísame cuando acabe el invierno' (Let me know when winter ends) serves as a powerful metaphor for a period of emotional coldness and hardship. Winter, in this context, symbolizes a time of struggle and isolation. Méndez sings about the cold seeking out and overpowering reason, causing the heart to shatter ('Corazón, te haces trizas'). This imagery vividly captures the pain of emotional turmoil and the difficulty of maintaining rationality when overwhelmed by fear and sadness.

Despite the bleakness, the song offers a glimmer of hope. Méndez suggests that his song can serve as a refuge ('tu refugio será mi canción'), providing comfort and a sense of connection. The plea to 'Déjame ir' (Let me go) and the hope that 'tal vez no te arrepientas' (maybe you won't regret it) indicate a desire for mutual healing and understanding. The song's conclusion, repeating the call to be informed when winter ends, emphasizes the cyclical nature of emotional struggles and the enduring hope for renewal and warmth.
