Lánzalo

Abraham Mateo's song 'Lánzalo' is a heartfelt plea for a better world, filled with vivid imagery and powerful metaphors. The lyrics paint a picture of an ideal world, one that is drawn with Picasso's doves and sung with John Lennon's songs. This utopian vision is contrasted with the harsh realities of the world we live in, where ambition and greed often lead to the destruction of dreams. Mateo uses the metaphor of being lost on an island, with only a piece of paper to send an S.O.S. to the world, symbolizing a cry for help and a desire for change.

The chorus, '¡Lánzalo!' (Throw it!), is a call to action, urging listeners to send out messages of hope and dreams for a better world. The idea of sending messages in bottles across the sea represents the spreading of these ideals far and wide, hoping that they will reach others and inspire collective action. The repetition of '¡Lánzalo!' emphasizes the urgency and importance of this mission. Mateo's lyrics also touch on the disillusionment with the current state of the world, where ambition and greed have led to the downfall of many dreams.

In the latter part of the song, Mateo delves deeper into the issues plaguing the world, such as borders, soldiers, and the lies fed to us daily by those in power. He dreams of a world without prejudice, racism, and inequality, where everyone is treated equally regardless of their background. The song also addresses environmental concerns, criticizing the destruction of forests and pollution of rivers for the sake of profit. Through 'Lánzalo,' Abraham Mateo not only highlights the problems but also inspires hope and a collective effort to strive for a better, more just world.
