Cenizas

Tragico Ballet's song "Cenizas" is a haunting exploration of sorrow, loneliness, and the inevitable passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a melancholic journey, where the protagonist is enveloped by a sense of despair and longing. The opening lines, "La frágil aurora de un melómano mortal / Se escurre despacio y melancólica quizás..." set the tone for the entire song, suggesting a fragile dawn slipping away slowly and melancholically, much like the fleeting nature of life itself.

The recurring theme of death being enamored with the protagonist adds a layer of gothic romanticism to the song. This is further emphasized by the imagery of "Inviernos desenfrenados acariciándome están / Y en un funeral el llanto resistiendo hasta el final," where unrestrained winters caress the protagonist, and tears persist until the end at a funeral. The use of winter as a metaphor for coldness and death, combined with the idea of tears resisting until the end, underscores the deep sense of loss and mourning.

The chorus, with its poignant lines "Y el suspenso de las lágrimas dejo la devoción perdida / en el sudor invisible de tú voz que me vela y duerme," speaks to the invisible yet palpable presence of a loved one whose voice watches over and lulls the protagonist to sleep. The distance that paints scars of resurrection and leaves ashes of pain suggests a transformative process where suffering leads to a form of rebirth, albeit one marked by enduring scars. The song's closing lines reiterate this theme, leaving the listener with a sense of lingering sorrow and the haunting beauty of pain turned to ashes.
