Pleamar de águilas

Invisible's song 'Pleamar de águilas' is a poetic exploration of existential themes, blending metaphysical imagery with a sense of journey and discovery. The lyrics open with the narrator counting stars in a divine book, suggesting a quest for understanding or enlightenment. This celestial imagery sets the stage for a voyage that transcends the physical world, hinting at a deeper, spiritual journey. The mention of time as something that will 'shoot' the narrator away underscores the inevitability of change and the passage of time, propelling them towards an unknown destination.

The recurring motif of 'pleamar' (high tide) and the imagery of a slow ship setting sail evoke a sense of transition and movement. The ship, guided by the sun at 'barlovento' (windward), symbolizes a journey towards light and knowledge. The 'pleamar de águilas' (high tide of eagles) adds a layer of majesty and freedom, suggesting that this journey is not just physical but also a soaring, liberating experience. The captain's role in seeking winds before crying and maintaining course before dreaming highlights the importance of preparation and steadfastness in the face of life's uncertainties.

As the song progresses, the imagery of reaching land 'like the cormorant' and the potential disappearance of eagles at dawn suggests a cyclical nature of journeys and the transient nature of moments of clarity and freedom. The dawn represents new beginnings, implying that even if the eagles (symbols of freedom and vision) vanish, a new day will bring fresh opportunities for discovery and enlightenment. This cyclical journey reflects the human experience of seeking meaning, facing challenges, and continually moving forward despite uncertainties.
