Hojas Secas

In 'Hojas Secas,' Trémolo delves into the depths of nostalgia and longing, painting a vivid picture of a love that once was but is now lost. The song opens with the artist expressing a feeling of being overwhelmed by memories, which sometimes resurface, making him feel chained and hopeless. This sense of entrapment is a powerful metaphor for how past emotions can hold us captive, preventing us from moving forward. The imagery of being 'covered by a feeling' suggests an all-encompassing emotion that is hard to shake off.

The second verse takes us back to a poignant memory of the first kiss, a moment filled with trembling lips and clinging hands. This vivid recollection highlights the intensity and passion of the past relationship. The artist's desire to go back in time and relive those moments underscores the theme of longing. The dream sequence that follows, where he envisions being together again, only to be separated by mist and storm, symbolizes the insurmountable obstacles that have come between them. The recurring dream and the feeling of waking up to the same reality emphasize the inescapable nature of his longing.

The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as the artist pleads for just one night to rekindle their love under the full moon, amidst dry leaves. This setting of 'hojas secas' or dry leaves, often associated with autumn and decay, contrasts with the idea of renewal and passion, suggesting that even in the midst of decay, love can be revived. The song concludes with a focus on the present moment, urging to forget the past and future, and to cherish the now. This message of living in the moment, despite the weight of past memories, adds a layer of bittersweet beauty to the song's narrative.
