Por Casualidad

“Por Casualidad” by Alan Sutton y las Criaturitas de la Ansiedad is a reflective and introspective song that delves into the randomness and serendipity of existence. The lyrics begin with the acknowledgment of the sheer chance involved in conception, highlighting the randomness of the singer's birth and nationality. This sets the stage for a broader exploration of life's arbitrary nature and the singer's place within it.

The song continues to explore the influence of modern technology and media on the individual's perception of reality. The mention of films, CDs, and the internet underscores how contemporary life is mediated through screens and digital content, shaping our knowledge and experiences. The singer expresses a sense of disconnection and madness, a common sentiment in the digital age where information overload can lead to a feeling of being overwhelmed.

Amidst this chaos, the singer finds solace in simple, human connections and experiences. The desire to see someone dance, laugh, and sing represents a yearning for genuine, unmediated moments of joy and connection. The song also touches on the existential fear of death, with the repeated line “Yo no me quiero morir nunca” (I never want to die) reflecting a deep-seated desire for immortality and the fear of the unknown.

The final verses bring a sense of romanticism and wonder, with the singer expressing love for the sea and the moon, symbols of timeless beauty and mystery. This juxtaposition of modern life's chaos with the eternal elements of nature creates a poignant contrast, emphasizing the singer's search for meaning and stability in an unpredictable world.
