Suspiria

Veintiuno's "Suspiria" is a poignant exploration of longing and the desire for connection across time and space. The song opens with questions that evoke a sense of distance and uncertainty, as the narrator wonders about the whereabouts and readiness of a loved one. This sets the stage for a dreamlike narrative where the narrator envisions being closer to their beloved, despite the vastness that separates them. The imagery of "cien mil años luz más cerca" (a hundred thousand light-years closer) beautifully captures the yearning to bridge the gap between them.

The lyrics delve into themes of delusion and sincerity, as the narrator grapples with their feelings and the hope that their beloved feels the same. The mention of "dioses y sincericidios" (gods and sincericides) suggests a struggle between divine intervention and the brutal honesty of emotions. The reserved sigh symbolizes a moment of shared understanding and connection, a small yet significant gesture in the vastness of their separation.

The song also touches on the impact of time and distance, which can dim the intensity of feelings. However, the narrator's determination to "encenderte" (ignite you) and collide like comets speaks to the powerful force of love that defies these barriers. The repeated affirmation that "siempre merece la pena" (it's always worth it) underscores the message that love and connection are worth pursuing, despite the challenges. Veintiuno's "Suspiria" is a testament to the enduring human desire for closeness and the belief that love transcends all obstacles.
