Polilla
Nosoträsh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vendrá el frío y volveré a sacar tu piel,
que guardo en el fondo del armario, año tras año.
Cada vez me abriga menos sin querer,
se la comen las polillas y aún así sigue oliendo a ti.

Vendrá el frío y aunque ya no estés aquí,
sigo remendando mis recuerdos, daño tras daño.




Overall Meaning

In the song "Polilla" by Nosoträsh, the lyrics revolve around the idea of holding onto something that is no longer with us. The opening lines reveal that the singer is still holding onto her former lover's skin, which she has kept in the back of her closet for years. The arrival of winter prompts her to retrieve it once more. However, as time has passed, the skin has grown more fragile and is now being eaten away by moths. Despite its decay, the skin still holds the scent of the former lover, indicating that the memory of this person still holds power over the singer's mind.


The second verse continues the theme of holding onto memories, even when they are painful. The singer talks about "remending" her memories "daño tras daño," which roughly translates to "damage after damage." This can be interpreted as a form of emotional self-preservation, where the singer is trying to piece together fractured recollections in order to keep some semblance of the past intact.
