No Despertaremos

A.N.I.M.A.L's song 'No Despertaremos' delves into the depths of a nightmarish experience, painting a vivid picture of fear and despair. The opening lines, 'La noche vela a inocentes que jamas despertaran,' set a somber tone, suggesting a vigil over innocents who will never awaken. This imagery evokes a sense of eternal sleep or death, hinting at the inescapable nature of the nightmare that follows. The 'vicios nocturnos de terror humanos recobraran vida' speaks to the resurgence of human fears and vices in the dead of night, where the darkest aspects of the human psyche come to life.

As the song progresses, the narrator describes a journey into their 'mas cruel pesadilla,' or most cruel nightmare. This descent is marked by a feeling of falling endlessly, 'caigo, mas y mas,' which symbolizes a loss of control and a plunge into deeper layers of fear and horror. The imagery of 'nauseabundos esqueletos acechándome al pasar'—nauseating skeletons lurking as they pass—adds to the macabre atmosphere, suggesting that the narrator is haunted by the remnants of past traumas or fears.

The repeated lines 'Gimen, voces muertas, bajo la tierra'—moaning, dead voices, under the earth—underscore the theme of being surrounded by death and the voices of the past. This haunting chorus reinforces the sense of being trapped in a nightmarish realm where the dead are not at peace. The song's relentless descent into darkness and the imagery of the 'horca y tu cuello sufre'—the noose and your neck suffering—suggest an impending doom that is both physical and psychological. 'No Despertaremos' is a powerful exploration of fear, death, and the inescapable nature of our darkest nightmares.
