El Lago Del Alma

Rojuu's song 'El Lago Del Alma' delves deep into themes of loss, longing, and the passage of time. The lyrics open with the arrival of a breeze that stirs up memories, suggesting a sense of nostalgia and reflection. The line 'Todas las huellas algún día barro son' (All footprints someday turn to mud) speaks to the impermanence of life and the inevitability of change. Despite this, the narrator expresses a determination to keep moving forward, stating 'No tengo tiempo para llorar' (I don't have time to cry) and 'No tengo tiempo para morir' (I don't have time to die), indicating a resolve to live fully despite the pain.

The imagery of the sky and the sun is recurrent throughout the song, symbolizing hope and the passage of time. The narrator feels a profound sense of absence, as expressed in 'Me faltas tú, me encadenas' (I miss you, you chain me). This line suggests that the memory of a lost loved one continues to hold the narrator back, even as they try to find solace and move forward. The mention of eyes giving light and wandering through sorrow ('Mis ojos dan luz, Vago por mi pena') further emphasizes the struggle between holding onto memories and seeking new paths.

The second verse introduces the element of rain, which whispers to the narrator, adding to the melancholic atmosphere. The narrator seeks refuge and comfort, symbolized by the search for paths to shelter. The mention of angels crying barefoot and the narrator's refusal to harm them ('No voy a ser quien les clave un sable') adds a layer of empathy and compassion. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the narrator's enduring connection to the lost loved one, even if they can never see them again. The repeated lines 'Aunque pase el Sol, Me faltas tú, me encadenas' and 'Aunque ya nunca te vea' (Even if I never see you again) underscore the persistent impact of this loss on the narrator's life.
