Nagual
Crimson Blue Lyrics

The lyrics of Crimson Blue's song Nagual are centered around heartbreak and the struggle to let go of a past love. The opening lines express the singer's inability to move on, as he cannot stand to let his former partner go. He remembers the sound of their breath, the tension that they shared, and the way that they used to be intimately connected. The next few lines are filled with confusion at why things went wrong, as the singer wonders aloud what his partner was searching for that he couldn't provide.

The chorus of the song features vivid imagery of death, as the singer describes himself as dying as his partner "covers him with snow". He notes how his partner has become the cause of his destruction but also holds the potential to save him. The lines "As my dreams became the image of reality in me" express how the singer's memories of his previous partner have become ingrained within him and have become his new reality. In the final verse, the singer tells his former lover to no longer cry or be deceived by their false charm, as he paints a picture of himself lying awake and hearing them leave, and feeling how their promises were ultimately frail.

Overall, Nagual explores the pain of letting go of a failed relationship and the complex emotions that arise when one is left behind. The use of vivid imagery and introspection give depth to the lyrics, and the repeated lines of "How could your promise be so frail" and "As you walk beyond the rainbow, as you cover me with snow I’m dying" add an almost mournful tone to the entire song.
