Eiti Leda

Serú Girán's song 'Eiti Leda' is a profound exploration of isolation, longing, and existential angst, wrapped in a poetic and somewhat cryptic lyricism. The song begins with a desire to see someone's face shining, invoking imagery of a 'slave' which could symbolize being bound or trapped, possibly by one's own emotions or circumstances. The mention of being far from home and lacking companionship to face the day or to help 'before my heart rots' suggests a deep sense of loneliness and a craving for connection.

The lyrics progress into more vivid and intense imagery, with references to wanting to see someone naked 'the day the bodies parade' that have been saved, which might imply a yearning for raw, unmasked human connections amidst a world that feels superficial and empty. The repeated calls to the unnamed 'nena' (girl) throughout the song add a personal touch, suggesting this plea is directed towards someone specific, adding layers of personal longing and desperation.

The song also delves into darker, more surreal imagery, such as burning the candles of ships anchored in frozen seas, and forgetting one's shadow in a subway. These metaphors could reflect feelings of being stuck, forgotten, or lost. The overall tone of the song, with its haunting and melancholic melody, complements the lyrical themes of despair and the search for meaning or redemption in a seemingly indifferent world.
