Los Peces del Viento

Santa Sabina's 'Los Peces del Viento' is a hauntingly poetic exploration of love, loss, and existential despair. The song's lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a tumultuous emotional landscape. The opening lines, 'Derrumbar el amor / Derribarlo en silencio,' suggest a quiet, almost resigned destruction of love. This sets the tone for a journey through the complexities of human emotions, where love is both a source of fear and a path to self-discovery.

The recurring motif of 'los peces del viento' (the fish of the wind) serves as a powerful metaphor for elusive and ephemeral elements of life and love. The line 'Descubrir que tu voz / son los peces del viento' implies that the voice of a loved one is as fleeting and intangible as fish carried by the wind. This imagery evokes a sense of longing and the inevitable passage of time, highlighting the transient nature of human connections.

The song also delves into themes of self-deception and the struggle to confront harsh realities. Lines like 'Sepultar la verdad / Engañarnos diciendo / que el agua es el mar' reflect a desire to bury the truth and live in a comforting illusion. The repeated references to fire and wounds, 'el corazón es fiera herida,' underscore the pain and intensity of these emotions. The closing lines, 'Cierras los ojos / y el incencio no termina,' suggest that even in denial, the inner turmoil persists, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved tension and melancholy.
