La Noche

Octavia's song 'La Noche' is a vivid exploration of the night and its intoxicating allure. The lyrics paint a picture of a world transformed by the moonlight, where the natural spirit of the night begins to distill. The opening lines, 'La Luna me deja percibir / Contornos de sal,' suggest a mystical and almost otherworldly experience, as the moon reveals the contours of salt, possibly symbolizing the raw and unrefined nature of the night.

The recurring theme of 'Arde la noche en mi piel' (The night burns on my skin) emphasizes the intense and almost feverish energy that the night brings. This burning sensation could be interpreted as a metaphor for passion, desire, and the primal instincts that come alive under the cover of darkness. The 'cuerpos en ebullición' (bodies in ebullition) and 'voces clandestinas' (clandestine voices) further highlight the secretive and fervent activities that the night conceals.

The mention of 'savia' (sap) circulating and being lethal adds another layer of complexity to the song. Sap, often associated with life and vitality, being described as lethal suggests a dangerous allure, something that once experienced, creates a need to return. This could symbolize the addictive nature of the night and its experiences, drawing people back despite the potential risks. The song captures the duality of the night – its beauty and danger, its passion and peril – making 'La Noche' a compelling ode to the nocturnal world.
