Insomnio

Divididos' song "Insomnio" delves into the haunting experience of sleeplessness, where the mind becomes a playground for restless thoughts and uninvited specters. The opening lines, "Le abrí la puerta a los fantasmas," suggest a surrender to these haunting thoughts, inviting them into the sacred space of the mind, metaphorically described as a "temple in Yereván." This imagery evokes a sense of vulnerability and the struggle to maintain control over one's mental sanctuary.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mind in turmoil, likening it to a "vagón de pensamientos" that cannot find a terminal. This metaphor captures the relentless nature of insomnia, where thoughts race endlessly, and the mind is trapped in an "eterno abismo." The song's narrative is further enriched by the depiction of a night spent in the company of these spectral figures, who "nada comían, solo bebían," emphasizing the intangible and consuming nature of these mental intrusions.

In a bid to find solace, the protagonist turns to humor and the "locura de los poetas," suggesting that creativity and madness are intertwined paths to liberation. The mention of "absenta o cocktail de libertad" hints at the use of substances or imaginative escapism as a means to cope with the overwhelming mental chaos. The song concludes with a sense of waiting and anticipation, "A vela espero al viento," symbolizing hope for a change or release from the grip of insomnia. This poignant exploration of sleeplessness resonates with anyone who has experienced the restless nights and the longing for peace of mind.
