Alma Húmeda
Sasha Sökol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con el alma humeda
Ni medio seca, ni medio mojada
Humeda
Como algunas piedras
Como ranas
Como rayos en la selva
Como pensarte humeda
No me acostumbro a despertar
Como nube seca
Ni medio loca, ni medio sana seca
Que hay mas seco que lo seco
El eco es seco... Como llorate
Estoy acostumbrada a despertar
Con el alma humeda
Y cuando esta por secarse
Me vuelvo a dormir
Y tu que haces cuando esta por secarse, tu alma?
Estoy acostumbrada a despertar
Con el alma humeda
Ni medio seca, ni medio mojada... Humeda...
The song "Alma Humeda" by Sasha Sokol seems to be about the singer's emotional state. She is used to waking up with a damp soul, feeling neither completely dry nor completely wet. The imagery used in the lyrics describes this feeling in a vivid way - like some stones, like frogs, like rays of sun in the jungle. These are all things that one can picture as being neither fully dry nor fully wet. The singer cannot get used to waking up with a dry soul, which she characterizes as being half-crazy and half-sane, and therefore not desirable. She contrasts this with the feeling of a damp soul, which seems to be more dynamic and alive - though it also seems somewhat unstable. At the end of the song, the singer asks the listener what they do when their soul is drying out.
One interpretation of this song is that it is about the challenges of living life with emotional intensity. The damp soul that the singer describes could be seen as a metaphor for the kind of emotional state that comes from fully engaging with life - it is a state that is not static, but rather constantly shifting and changing. The dry soul, on the other hand, could be seen as a metaphor for emotional detachment or numbness. The singer seems to be saying that she prefers the former state, even though it can be difficult to maintain.
Overall, "Alma Humeda" seems to be a song about the complexities of emotional experience, and the challenges of staying fully engaged with one's feelings. The imagery used in the lyrics is rich and evocative, and the song as a whole has a dreamy, atmospheric quality to it.
