Poema Arcanus Lyrics

El mustio peso de la vergüenza
Los versos, los sueños, la quimera
"Epilogo" by Poema Arcanus is a powerful song that largely reflects on the darker aspects of life, such as regret and shame. The opening line "Un eco de escombros" ("An echo of rubble") plays with the idea of emptiness and destruction, emphasizing the lack of fulfillment or happiness. This is then amplified by the second line "El mustio peso de la vergüenza" ("The withered weight of shame"), which not only highlights the idea of regret but also points to the burden that comes with it. The song's opening speaks to how our past mistakes can haunt us, leaving us feeling broken and weighed down.
As the song progresses, the lyrics move on to touch on the idea of unfulfilled dreams and hopes. When the line "Los versos, los sueños, la quimera" ("The verses, the dreams, the chimera") is sung, it shows how hopes, dreams, and aspirations can become nothing more than fantasies, leaving us with a sense of emptiness and disillusionment. The song highlights how all these past regrets can ultimately become a self-fulfilling prophecy of loneliness and sadness. Yet, in the end, the song leaves us with the hope and promise of a new day, a chance for redemption, and a new beginning.
