QUEMASANTOS - The Oneironaut (feat. Chris Irarrazaval) (Lyric Video)

“The Oneironaut” is inspired by the 19th-century writings of Allan Kardec and his concept of “journeys of the soul.”
In this modern vision, Quemasantos transforms those ideas into a dark, nightmarish interdimensional voyage — a descent into a dream world where consciousness dissolves and reality becomes unstable.

Nelson Díaz commented:
“It’s a song inspired by the 19th-century writings of Allan Kardec on what he called ‘journeys of the soul.’ Today, we could interpret it as a nightmarish vision of an interdimensional journey experienced during sleep.”

Ignacio Orellana added:
“As we’ve been releasing one track after another, the sound has been evolving in search of what we truly want it to be. It’s been challenging to balance the instruments so that each one shines — because each represents a part of the creator’s soul. I feel that this one leans a little more toward the drums’ side… but the bass, the bass. We’re preparing a few more surprises — stay tuned and be ready to be surprised.”
