Imagine penning the last page of a fairy tale, certain that "happily ever after" awaits, only to watch the words wash away in the rain. That is the mood of "Los Amantes del Círculo Polar": a bittersweet confession from someone who realises their love story has taken an unexpected turn. The singer apologises again and again – for the ending that never came, for the sad song she cannot finish, for becoming a "blue devil" instead of a guardian angel. As routine hardens the other person, she admits she lost herself while trying to love.
Under the gentle drizzle of melancholy guitar chords, the lyrics circle around key emotions: • Regret – wishing the tale had unfolded differently. • Self-reflection – recognising her own role in the collapse. • Tabooed love – a bond so intense it becomes forbidden. • Echoes of memory – "ultrasonidos" of something long forgotten returning with the rain. Listening feels like tracing footprints in snow that never quite meet, a poetic reminder that some relationships, no matter how passionate, keep spinning in their own polar circle.
