Nocturno
Riel Lyrics

The lyrics to Riel's song Nocturno describe a nighttime beach walk that transitions into a journey through the forest. The first verse sets the scene with the singer walking along a bright shoreline and entering the forest. The repetition of "Llevo el bosque adentro" (I take the forest inside) emphasizes the importance of nature and the connection the singer feels to it. The chorus emphasizes the beauty and power of the darkness and the ocean. The imagery of the darkness crashing onto the horizon and breaking through the waves creates a sense of awe and reverence.

The repetitive structure of the song creates a dreamlike and trance-inducing effect, reflecting the nocturnal atmosphere it aims to convey. The lyrics themselves are simple and repetitive, inviting the listener to get lost in the repetition and the music. The interplay between the natural and the supernatural, as well as the sense of movement and transition, adds to the mystical and surreal quality of the song.
