Siento

In 'Siento,' Sasha Sokol delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships, painting a vivid picture of longing, passion, and existential reflection. The song opens with the imagery of a 'strange night' that neither listens nor loves, setting a tone of solitude and yearning. The 'solitary man' she addresses seems to be a metaphor for an elusive lover or perhaps an idealized version of love itself. This figure arrives slowly and unknowingly, suggesting a sense of inevitability and fate in their connection. The plea to 'surrender for today' underscores a desire for temporary solace and intimacy, even if it is fleeting or illusory.

As the song progresses, the night becomes 'false,' embracing her with the man's hands, which could symbolize the deceptive nature of temporary comfort. The man is described as 'unreal' and ever-changing, highlighting the transient and often unreliable nature of human connections. Despite this, there is a powerful attraction, as she asks him to 'hold her for today' and 'talk about love.' This duality of seeking genuine connection while grappling with its impermanence is a central theme in the song.

The chorus, with its repeated 'Siento,' captures the overwhelming emotions that 'explode inside' her, giving her life and making her feel alive. The imagery of the man who 'knows how to turn the moon that watches her' suggests a deep, almost mystical connection. Time seems to stand still in his presence, and the 'rage that makes her be reborn' speaks to the transformative power of intense emotions. The call to let the universe 'explode once and for all' is a powerful metaphor for embracing the full spectrum of human experience, from love and passion to pain and rebirth. Through 'Siento,' Sasha Sokol masterfully explores the intricate dance of love, longing, and the search for meaning in our emotional lives.
