Fascinado

Sidonie's song 'Fascinado' delves into the complex emotions of fascination and disillusionment. The repetitive chorus, 'Me tienes tan fa-fa-fa-fa fascinado,' emphasizes the speaker's intense captivation, almost to the point of obsession. This fascination, however, is juxtaposed with a sense of impending disillusionment, as hinted by the lyrics 'Es la última canción' and 'Fin del hechizo,' suggesting the end of an enchanting experience or a spell being broken.

The narrative unfolds with the speaker leaving a party, stepping into the sunlight, and observing 'cadáveres exquisitos,' a term that evokes surrealist art and the beauty found in the macabre. This imagery sets a tone of existential reflection, as the speaker acknowledges that everyone is striving for their own version of paradise ('todos quieren llegar al Edén'). The journey continues with a ride in a car, where the speaker notices the pallor of a companion's face, indicating their discomfort and the vow that 'esta es la última vez,' hinting at a cycle of repeated mistakes or experiences.

As the night progresses, the speaker's feelings of being 'inmaculado' (immaculate) contrast sharply with the search for 'amor plastificado' (plastic love), symbolizing a hollow or superficial connection. The encounter in the bathroom, where the speaker finds someone crying despite the night's apparent success, underscores the theme of hidden pain and the facade of happiness. The final lines, 'No me digas nada... el espejo tendré que romper,' reflect a fear of confronting one's own truths and the shattering of illusions. Sidonie masterfully captures the duality of human experience, where moments of fascination are often shadowed by underlying disillusionment and existential angst.
