Campo de Marte
Axel Krygier Lyrics

The lyrics of the song relate to the sensation of fear and uncertainty that consumes the singer. The first verse sets the tone with an admission of being cold and not content, yet finding cause to laugh. The second line, "apenas puedo soportar el terror que me embarga" (I can barely stand the terror that overwhelms me) suggests that there is a sense of danger or impending doom. The following lines reinforce this notion, with the singer describing the body and soul's lack of trust in one another. The final line of each verse, "parece que espera estar muerto para saber" (it seems like it waits to be dead to know), adds a layer of fatalism that speaks to the idea that sometimes it takes a crisis to reveal the truth.

The chorus takes a different tone, evoking images from Roman history: "caen las lanzas en el campo de marte / arrojate al suelo para salvarte / y besa con ardor la tierra negra que te abraza / no sabes que algún día esa sera tu única casa" (the spears fall in the Field of Mars / throw yourself to the ground to save yourself / and kiss passionately the black earth that embraces you / you don't know that someday that will be your only home). The Field of Mars was a military training ground in ancient Rome, and the chorus seems to be referencing the idea that even the mightiest warriors must eventually succumb to death, and the only comfort will be found in the earth.

Overall, the lyrics of "Campo de Marte" are a meditation on fear, death, and the futility of trying to outsmart or outrun mortality. The song suggests that while the body and soul may be at odds with each other, ultimately they will both succumb, and the only refuge to be found will be in the earth itself.
