Vacío

Santa Sabina's song 'Vacío' delves deep into the existential void that many individuals experience. The lyrics paint a stark picture of absence and insignificance, where the presence or absence of the self seems inconsequential. This sense of emptiness is described as 'latente,' suggesting that it is a constant, underlying presence in the individual's life. The mention of a 'cuarto de hotel de quinta categoría' symbolizes a transient, lowly state of being, emphasizing the feeling of being lost and disconnected from any meaningful place or purpose.

The song further explores the idea that no one can fill the 'vacío mar' in the protagonist's heart. This metaphor of an empty sea highlights the vast, unfillable nature of their emotional void. The reference to the 'mar muerto' or Dead Sea, known for its lifelessness, ironically suggests a hope that even something as desolate as the Dead Sea might bring life back to the protagonist. This juxtaposition underscores the depth of their despair and the faint glimmer of hope they cling to.

The imagery of 'arrastrarse en el suelo como un reptil' conveys a sense of degradation and self-loathing, as the protagonist feels the 'asco de existir.' This visceral depiction of crawling on the ground like a reptile reflects a profound disconnection from humanity and a deep-seated disgust with their own existence. The final lines, 'Estar solo o estar con todos da lo mismo,' encapsulate the protagonist's sense of futility and preference for chaos over any semblance of order or connection. This chaotic preference highlights a desire to escape the unbearable weight of their existential crisis, even if it means embracing disorder and confusion.
