Sombras

Sôber's song 'Sombras' delves into the haunting and consuming nature of a toxic relationship, using vivid and dark imagery to convey the emotional turmoil and addiction that comes with it. The lyrics paint a picture of a soul trapped in a state of perpetual loneliness and despair, likening the experience to a form of living death. The repeated references to 'infierno' (hell) suggest that the relationship is a form of eternal damnation from which there is no escape, yet paradoxically, the narrator finds a twisted sense of pleasure in the suffering it brings.

The song employs powerful metaphors to describe the intensity of the narrator's obsession. The lines 'Adicto, a ti y a tu olor, como una droga' (Addicted to you and your scent, like a drug) highlight the addictive nature of the relationship, comparing it to a narcotic that the narrator cannot resist. This addiction is further emphasized by the imagery of 'inyectarte mi veneno' (injecting you with my poison), suggesting a desire to perpetuate the cycle of pain and dependency indefinitely. The juxtaposition of 'ojos negros' (black eyes) and 'blanca es la piel' (white skin) creates a stark contrast that underscores the duality of attraction and repulsion inherent in the relationship.

Musically, Sôber is known for their blend of alternative metal and hard rock, which complements the dark and intense themes of their lyrics. The instrumental solo in the song adds to the overall atmosphere of despair and longing, providing a moment of reflection amidst the chaos. The repeated invitation to 'Ven, más, acercate' (Come, closer) serves as a chilling reminder of the inescapable pull of the toxic relationship, drawing the listener deeper into the emotional abyss.
