Felicidad

In 'Felicidad,' Sexteto Fantasma delves into the complex and often painful pursuit of happiness. The song's protagonist is in a state of emotional turmoil, seeking to escape the 'nieblas de tinieblas' (mists of darkness) and 'noches sin timón' (nights without a rudder). These metaphors vividly depict a life adrift, lacking direction and clarity. The plea to 'salva mi corazón' (save my heart) underscores a desperate need for emotional rescue and stability.

The lyrics also explore the theme of love as both a source of joy and suffering. The protagonist's attempt to 'aferrarme a esa ilusión' (cling blindly to that illusion) of love is likened to the futile act of trying to 'abrazar al Sol' (embrace the Sun). This metaphor highlights the unattainable and often destructive nature of their romantic aspirations. The repeated phrase 'amarte fue matar' (loving you was killing) encapsulates the paradox of love, where the act of loving leads to self-destruction and rebirth, a cycle of 'morir y reencarnar' (dying and reincarnating).

The song also touches on the fleeting nature of happiness and the struggle to maintain it. The imagery of 'un fósforo que encienda las velitas de mi cruz' (a match that lights the candles of my cross) suggests a brief, fragile illumination in a life otherwise marked by suffering. The cyclical nature of emotions is further emphasized with 'florecer, marchitar' (bloom, wither), indicating the transient phases of joy and sorrow. Ultimately, 'Felicidad' is a poignant exploration of the human condition, capturing the elusive and often contradictory nature of happiness and love.
