Azul
Buitres Despues de la Una Lyrics

In Buitres Despues de la Una's song Azul, the verse "Ya no respiran al caer, ha comenzado la guerra" sets a somber tone. The line talks about how everything has suddenly come to a stop, as if the world has paused, and the war has already begun. The following lines "un segundo más en tu piel, no mueras todavía" are a soliloquy of someone who's hoping to preserve a moment of intimacy with another person; even though they are both aware of the danger that is coming. The song takes on a darker and ominous tone as it goes on. The line "Como en el cuarto de espejos, no mires a través de mi" compares the singer's partner's perception of him to that of a distorted image in a funhouse mirror. The distortion that the singer refers to is being caused by his personal demons, and the "perro fiel" or faithful dog alluded to in the song is his anxiety, which is always lurking in the background. The parallel imagery painted in the verse "El filo anda buscándote para estallar en mi ojo" is both sinister and poetic, as the singer talks about a blade that's seeking out his partner, but is waiting in his eye for her end. The final lines of the chorus "Azul, hoy no es tu día, por ti una lágrima negra" convey sadness and resignation. 'Azul' means blue in Spanish and is a metaphor for the singer's partner, "[as] today is not your day" which likely means bad news is on the way. The last line "por ti una lágrima negra" (for you a black tear) could symbolize the impending doom that his blue partner represents.
