¿Quién Soy Yo? (feat. Funky & Pichie T7)
Alex Zurdo
A Humble Reflection on Divine Grace
The song "¿Quién Soy Yo?" by Alex Zurdo, featuring Funky & Pichie T7, is a contemplative piece that delves into themes of humility, gratitude, and the recognition of a higher power's role in one's achievements. The lyrics begin with the narrator examining his own hands as a metaphor for reflecting on his life's work and accomplishments. However, this introspection quickly shifts to a recognition of the divine, symbolized by the 'hands with scars'—a likely reference to the Christian narrative of Jesus Christ and his crucifixion. The scars represent the ultimate expression of love and sacrifice, prompting the narrator to question his own significance in comparison.
The chorus, with its rhetorical question '¿Quién soy yo?' ('Who am I?'), emphasizes the narrator's realization that without the divine, his own identity and successes are meaningless. The song suggests that all glory should be attributed to the divine rather than to oneself. This sentiment is reinforced by the imagery of nature and creation, such as the seed needing to be planted to bear fruit and the moon shining only with the light from the sun, further illustrating the idea that nothing exists without its creator.
The latter verses expand on the theme of dependency on the divine, describing it as a source of life, cleansing, and relief from pain. The divine is personified as a lawyer, a carpenter of love, and the one who gives value to the narrator's life. The song concludes with a plea for remembrance, to always acknowledge the divine's role and to never become arrogant or forgetful of where true worth comes from. Alex Zurdo's musical style, which often incorporates elements of Christian faith into urban and Latin rhythms, serves as a vehicle to express these deeply spiritual themes in a relatable and modern context.
