Despertar
Reino Ermitaño Lyrics

The song "Despertar" by Reino Ermitaño is a deep and introspective piece that reveals a lot of the human psyche that is often left veiled. The opening line, "Quise aprender los lenguajes secretos" (I wanted to learn the secret languages), speaks to the yearning of people to understand the world beyond their superficial experience. The singer expresses the desire to comprehend the shadow side of life, to be like a falcon that sees beyond, and the quiet moments that exist beyond the loudness of everyday life.

As the song progresses, the singer breaks down the barriers of this world's illusions and speaks about the need to see beyond them. "Con la pureza del salto al vacío" (With the purity of the leap into the abyss) speaks to the need to shed the superficialities and jump into the abyss to seek a higher truth. The singer recognizes the pain and the struggle that comes with that journey, "Siento en tu frente el beso del frío" (I feel the kiss of the cold on your forehead), but affirms that it is only in taking that step, that we can achieve a higher understanding.

The singer then turns to someone specifically, "Quiero ver tu cuerpo ceder, quiero ser tu oscuro placer" (I want to see your body give in, I want to be your dark pleasure). This could be interpreted in a number of ways - perhaps it is a lover they are addressing and the statement speaks to the pleasure of surrendering to passion. Alternatively, it could be addressing the concept of death or transcendence and advocating a willingness to let go of mundane attachments. The final line, "Quiero hoy volver a creer" (I want to believe again today), speaks to the constant need to re-affirm our beliefs and embrace our journey towards enlightenment.
