"Graveyards, dead feelings, the withered memories.
As time goes by this pain becomes eternal.
I write my last breath between sleeplessness and nausea,
tears in my eyes and an emptiness in my chest"
But this darkness represents the pain that many Colombians go through due to displacement, hunger, violence or abuse. About this Chiras (Free Soul) says the following:
"The darkness may not produce the sweetest music. But it is part of our inner process that will lead to the light. That is why it is important to tell that story as well.¨
