Why does pain sometimes feel like an eclipse? In Duele, Spanish indie band Dorian teams up with Mexican singer León Larregui to paint a vivid journey through the inner sky of someone running from their own shadow. The lyrics swirl with images of circling a solar eclipse, flying over the city, and dissolving like a river delta into the sea, showing how easy it is to flee outward while bleeding inward. The repeated mantra Nadie puede salvar a nadie (nobody can save anyone) reminds us that no friend, lover, or angel can rescue us if we keep locking our own heart.
Yet the song is not just a lament, it is a pulse. The hypnotic beat mirrors the rising intensity of the "veneno y placer" the singer feels, capturing that bittersweet high when hurt and desire blur. By the time the chorus lists everything that aches - lightness, solitude, reality, darkness - we realize the real battle is self-acceptance. Duele becomes an anthem for the moment we stop fleeing, face the ache, and discover that dawn arrives only when we turn inward to heal.
