Ventanas

Sordromo's song 'Ventanas' delves into the introspective and often melancholic experience of observing life through the metaphorical and literal windows. The lyrics paint a picture of someone looking out at the world, feeling disconnected and bored by the monotony of their surroundings. The window serves as a barrier and a lens, highlighting the contrast between the observer's inner world and the external reality. The recurring rain symbolizes a persistent sadness or a sense of stagnation, where despite changes, everything feels the same.

The chorus invites a sense of liberation and connection. 'Asomate y grita' (Look out and shout) suggests a call to break free from isolation and express oneself. The offer to 'salir' (go out) if accompanied indicates a desire for companionship and shared experiences. This plea for connection is further emphasized by the lines 'Sus ventanas, hacia el mundo / O al suyo viendo de mi casa,' which reflect on the different perspectives people have from their own 'windows,' whether they are physical or metaphorical.

The song also touches on themes of insomnia and loneliness, with 'insomnio, tras paredes / Que alejan cuando duele más' (insomnia, behind walls / That distance when it hurts the most). This imagery conveys the isolation felt during sleepless nights, where walls not only separate but also amplify the pain of solitude. The repeated invitation to 'asomate y grita' and 'asomate y toma / Cuantas mañanas / Necesites vivir' (look out and shout / look out and take / as many mornings / as you need to live) underscores the importance of reaching out and embracing life, even in the face of adversity.

'Ventanas' by Sordromo is a poignant exploration of isolation, connection, and the human need for companionship. It encourages listeners to break free from their confines, share their struggles, and find solace in shared experiences.
