Desconocido

The song 'Desconocido' by Angeles Del Infierno delves into the theme of disillusionment and the struggle to find meaning in a world that has drastically changed. The title itself, which translates to 'Unknown,' sets the tone for a narrative that explores the feelings of confusion and loss. The lyrics speak to a sense of discomfort and pain, as the familiar has ceased to exist, leaving the protagonist feeling wounded and adrift. This emotional turmoil is vividly captured in the lines, 'Desconocido es un motivo para encontrar mi malestar / Y como herido, así me siento, pues lo que conocí / Dejó de existir,' which translate to 'Unknown is a reason to find my discomfort / And like wounded, that's how I feel, because what I knew / Ceased to exist.'

The song also reflects on the past, suggesting that looking back might offer some insight or solace, but ultimately, it was an illusion that has now faded. The chorus, 'Desconocido, nada es distinto / Solo tu mismo lo veras mejor / Desconocido nada es distinto / Todo ha cambiado quizás a peor,' which means 'Unknown, nothing is different / Only you will see it better / Unknown, nothing is different / Everything has changed, perhaps for the worse,' underscores the idea that while the external world may seem unchanged, the internal perception has shifted, often for the worse.

Angeles Del Infierno, known for their heavy metal sound, uses powerful and evocative language to convey a sense of existential dread and the struggle to adapt to a new reality. The song's dark and introspective tone is a hallmark of their style, resonating with listeners who have experienced similar feelings of disorientation and loss. The repeated assertion that 'there is no future without end that will take pity on you' further emphasizes the bleak outlook and the challenge of finding hope in an uncertain world.
