Akramen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saturado de tanta tristeza vacío y perdida de razón de inconsciencia
No hay dolor ni rabia en mi dispersos en mi inconsciente,
preguntas vienen sin encontrar respuestas en mi mente, ni en mi alma
Sombras, sin forma, caos, sombras
Destrucción de la realidad que encierra mi humanidad
Imágenes recuerdos que se tejen entre si, formando una red de dolor
Los viejos fantasmas dibujan sombras, recordando lo que fui y lo que soy
The lyrics to Akramen's song Sombras depict the singer walking through "tenues sombras," or faint shadows, which represent the intersection of their past and present. The singer is overwhelmed with sadness and feels lost and out of touch with reality. They are unable to find answers to the questions that plague their mind and soul. The shadows are described as chaotic and without form, representing the destruction of the singer's reality and society as a whole. The memories and images that flood the singer's mind are painful and interweave to form a web of suffering. The ghosts of the past continue to haunt the singer, reminding them of what they used to be and what they have become.
Overall, the lyrics of Sombras express a feeling of disillusionment and disconnection from the world. The imagery of shadows and destruction reflect the singer's sense of chaos and despair. The song speaks to the universal experience of grappling with the past and trying to make sense of the present.
