Formation (2008-2010)
The original line-up included Igna Jover (guitars) and Albert Gasen (drums).They shortly after recruited Xavi Sanchez on keyboards and Raquel Domingo on vocals.
Initially being a metal cover band, they got a lot of positive feedback for their interpretations from bands like Dream Theater, Yngwie Malmsteen, Sonata Artica, Helloween, Metallica.
In the summer of 2009 the band started to write their own material with influences varying from rock to death metal and Xavi decided to leave the band.
Antalgia's first demo "Persuasion" was to be released November 2009, but the difficulty of finding committed musicians delayed the recordings until Dani Campos on keyboards and Xavi Orga on bass joined the band to start the recordings on May 2010.
The full versions of their music have been digital released on their website for free downloading and it contains three original progmetal songs that were mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox.
The band is thrown to the stage in early 2010 having a very good reception from the audience so they began writing their debut album in the summer of 2010, but the bassist decided to leave the band for personal reasons being replaced by Carlos Falomir and one month later, the band parted ways with singer due to differences in the commitment required to be in a music band, and Bella Dianez joined the band, filling the vacant spot.
Perception Of Reality (2011-)
In early 2011 they started to record they first album called "Perception Of Reality" at Igna's recording studio, but due to some personal reasons of some of the members, the release has been delayed until mid 2012.
Antalgia is now preparing the release of their first album and a big European tour for about one month long, supporting metal masters Therion 25th anniversary tour.
Broken Wings
Antalgia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hidden to world
Years of loneliness
The trail of the comet
Is still alive although
It extinguished years ago
My broken wings
With no more strength
Now under the rain
I fall on my knees
I'll die if you leave
Don't let the eco of our laughs die
The feeling weakens
And all my memories are fading out like
Dust in the...
An uncontrollable line of
Silence and disagreement
I would like to eliminate
Without thinking I beg
You cure my pain
Which still can be erased
Ignore this dream
Which you are taking has a game
Let me resurrect
Let our destiny be
Witness and judge of words
I should never have said
Don't let the eco of our laughs die
The feeling weakens
And all my memories are fading out like
Dust in the wind
Being converted in
Statue of salt
Can be avoided
As I turn around
Wishing on your arrival
Don't let the eco
Of our laughs die
The feeling weakens
Don't let the eco of our laughs die
The feeling weakens
And all my memories are fading out like
Dust in the wind
I want to believe
Show me I have motives to wait for you.
The lyrics of Antalgia's song Broken Wings depict a sense of loneliness and desperation in the face of lost love. The singer is hidden behind a disguise, concealing years of loneliness and heartache. The trail of the comet serves as a metaphor for the past relationship which has extinguished, but the memories are still alive. The broken wings symbolize the singer's inability to move on, as they do not have the strength to fly again. They fall to their knees in the rain, begging not to be left alone.
The second verse shows the pain and desperation building up in the singer. The silence and disagreement between the two partners is causing unbearable pain, and the singer begs for it to be eliminated. They ask for their pain to be cured and for their dream of being with their partner again to come true. The memories of their laughter are fading away like dust in the wind, and they do not want it to die.
The final verse shows the singer hoping for their partner's return. They do not want to turn into a statue of salt, which can be avoided if their partner would just return to them. The song ends on a plea for the memories of their laughter to not die and for the singer to have the motivation to wait for their partner's return.

Under my disguise
I am hiding who I truly am
Hidden to world
No one knows my true self
Years of loneliness
I have been alone for a long time
The trail of the comet
Remnants of my past still exist
Is still alive although
Despite its age, things from my past still matter to me
It extinguished years ago
But my past is long gone
My broken wings
I am unable to fly
With no more strength
I have no power left
Won't let me fly
I am unable to move on
Now under the rain
In the midst of hardship
I fall on my knees
I am down on my luck
I'll die if you leave
I cannot bear losing you
Don't let the eco of our laughs die
Let us not forget the joy we shared together
The feeling weakens
My emotions are fading away
And all my memories are fading out like
The good times we had are becoming distant memories
Dust in the...
...wind - fleeting and insignificant
An uncontrollable line of
A sudden outburst of
Silence and disagreement
We are at odds with each other
I would like to eliminate
I wish to resolve
Without thinking I beg
I plead with you desperately
You cure my pain
You are the solution to my problems
Which still can be erased
My pain can still be remedied
Ignore this dream
Disregard my unattainable desire
Which you are taking has a game
Don't take my feelings as a joke
Let me resurrect
Give me a chance to start over
Let our destiny be
Let our fate be decided
Witness and judge of words
Let the words we say be meaningful
I should never have said
I regret saying
Being converted in
Becoming
Statue of salt
Stuck in place with no hope for the future
Can be avoided
I can prevent this outcome
As I turn around
As I start anew
Wishing on your arrival
Hoping that you will come back to me
I want to believe
I desire to have faith in you
Show me I have motives to wait for you.
Prove to me that waiting for you is worth it
