Fantasmas

Ambar Lucid's song 'Fantasmas,' which translates to 'Ghosts' in English, delves into the haunting presence of memories and emotions that linger after a significant relationship or event. The bilingual lyrics, alternating between English and Spanish, reflect the artist's own cultural background and add depth to the song's exploration of the past's grip on the present.

The opening lines, 'Destiny left its mark in the room,' suggest a fateful encounter or experience that has left a lasting impression. The singer expresses a sense of being overwhelmed ('It's got me open wide') and a disruption to her daily routine ('now I'm waking at noon'). The repeated question, 'How can I forget your presence,' indicates a struggle to move on from someone or something that, despite being gone, still feels oppressively close ('When having you around just isn't so pleasant?').

The chorus, sung in Spanish, reinforces the theme of inescapable memories or spirits ('Aquí nunca hay soledad' translates to 'Here there is never loneliness'). The 'mil fantasmas,' or 'thousand ghosts,' could symbolize the multitude of thoughts and feelings that haunt the singer. The line 'I've seen somewhere in between' might suggest a state of being caught between the past and the present, unable to fully engage with either. The song's haunting melody and Lucid's emotive delivery amplify the sense of yearning and the spectral nature of the past that refuses to be laid to rest.
