Nieve

The song 'Nieve' by Tercer Cielo is a poignant narrative that delves into the destructive allure of cocaine, personified as 'Nieve' (Spanish for 'snow'). The lyrics begin with 'Nieve' introducing herself, promising an escape and special moments, but these promises are quickly revealed to be deceptive. The initial allure of cocaine is depicted as a journey that seems enticing but ultimately leads to ruin and despair.

The narrative shifts to a personal testimony, where the speaker recounts their own tragic experience with 'Nieve'. Initially introduced to cocaine by a supposed friend, the speaker's curiosity leads them down a dark path. The lyrics vividly describe the downward spiral: losing a good job, family, and financial stability. The promises of relief and happiness made by 'Nieve' are exposed as lies, leaving the speaker in a state of emptiness and pain. This personal account serves as a powerful warning about the false comfort and eventual devastation that drug addiction brings.

The song's final verses emphasize the insidious nature of cocaine addiction. 'Nieve' is described as starting slowly, subtly ensnaring the user until they lose their mind and self-worth. The imagery of a 'black cloud' covering the user symbolizes the overwhelming despair and loss of identity that addiction causes. The speaker urges listeners to learn from their mistakes and reject 'Nieve' before it's too late, highlighting the importance of recognizing the harmful effects of drugs and seeking healthier ways to find happiness and relief.
