Quimeras

Tessa Ia's song 'Quimeras' delves into the depths of memory, loss, and the haunting presence of a past lover. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist searching beneath her bed, a metaphorical space representing the subconscious mind, where she finds remnants of a relationship that continues to haunt her. The repeated phrase 'Miré debajo de mi cama' (I looked under my bed) signifies a recurring confrontation with these lingering memories and emotions.

The song's title, 'Quimeras,' refers to chimeras, mythical creatures composed of parts from different animals, symbolizing the fragmented and surreal nature of the protagonist's memories. These chimeras represent the distorted and idealized recollections of her past lover, Humberto. The lyrics suggest a sense of betrayal and disillusionment, as the protagonist questions the purity of Humberto's actions and the impact they have had on her. The line '¿Qué dice ella de tu juego inmaculado? ¿Se imagina que has pecado?' (What does she say about your immaculate game? Does she imagine that you have sinned?) highlights the protagonist's inner turmoil and the conflict between reality and illusion.

The song also explores themes of insomnia and obsession, as the protagonist describes herself becoming sleepless and consumed by thoughts of Humberto. The imagery of 'tazas de café' (cups of coffee) and 'grito ahogado' (drowned scream) conveys a sense of desperation and emotional turmoil. The repeated invocation of Humberto's name, coupled with the descriptions of him as a 'monstruo' (monster) and 'esperpento' (grotesque figure), underscores the profound impact he has had on the protagonist's psyche. Ultimately, 'Quimeras' is a poignant exploration of the lingering effects of a toxic relationship and the struggle to reconcile with the past.
