Elegía
Poema Arcanus Lyrics

The lyrics of Poema Arcanus's song Elegía are a powerful and emotional representation of mourning, loss, and the struggle to move forward. The first verse, "Desde que no existe el alma de mi alma / Me paso las noches cazando tormentas / Para olvidar que en el fondo no puedo olvidar / La dulce voz del silencio" (Since the soul of my soul no longer exists / I spend my nights hunting storms / To forget that deep down I cannot forget / The sweet voice of silence) portrays the artist's deep emotional pain of losing someone that meant everything to them. They try to find solace in chasing storms to forget the haunting silence after losing their loved one. However, deep down they know that the silence will never fade away.

The second verse, "Estrellas fugaces se confunden con faros / Cuando navegas perdido en el oceano de medianoche / Naufrago en lo irreal / Cegado por la oscuridad / Y mis velas en silencio piden solo un amanecer / ... hasta que vuelva la tempestad" (Shooting stars mix with lighthouses / When you sail lost in the midnight ocean / Shipwrecked in the unreal / Blinded by darkness / And my sails in silence only ask for a dawn / ...until the storm comes back) showcases the artist's feeling of being lost, alone and overwhelmed in the vast darkness of grief. The metaphor of shooting stars mixed with lighthouses represents the confusion and disorientation they feel in their life without their loved one. They express their longing for a new beginning but fear the next storm of pain that inevitably follows.
