Bruja

Anabantha's song 'Bruja' delves into the mystical and melancholic world of a witch, exploring themes of longing, isolation, and the search for love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a witch performing rituals under the moonlight, her hands conjuring magic in a desperate attempt to find love. The imagery of 'conjurando a media noche' (conjuring at midnight) and 'la luna y un ritual' (the moon and a ritual) sets a haunting and mystical tone, emphasizing the witch's connection to the supernatural and her reliance on magic to fulfill her desires.

The repetition of the witch's hands being 'guardadas entre sabanas apolilladas y húmedas' (kept between moth-eaten and damp sheets) symbolizes her loneliness and the cold, unfulfilled existence she endures. This imagery evokes a sense of decay and neglect, highlighting the witch's struggle to find warmth and connection in her life. The 'frió del delirio' (cold of delirium) further emphasizes her mental and emotional turmoil, as she remains trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled desires and dreams.

The melancholic tone of the song is further reinforced by the lines 'En la melancolía de tu rostro descubrí / Si algún sueño no muere esperaras verlo morir' (In the melancholy of your face I discovered / If a dream doesn't die, you will wait to see it die). This suggests a deep sense of resignation and hopelessness, as the witch comes to terms with the inevitable demise of her dreams. The song captures the essence of longing and the pain of unfulfilled desires, wrapped in a mystical and haunting atmosphere that is characteristic of Anabantha's gothic metal style.
