Frida (Interlude)

Alfa's 'Frida (Interlude)' is a contemplative piece that delves into the complexities of love and the human condition. The lyrics draw a distinction between the initial rush of falling in love and the enduring commitment of true love. The metaphor of an elevator versus stairs illustrates the ease of falling in love compared to the effort required to maintain it. The song suggests that while falling in love is quick and can be a beautiful memory, true love requires time and dedication.

The interlude also touches on social issues, reflecting on the artist's feelings of shame in the wake of news about femicide. Alfa uses this to explore the concept of hate as a powerful emotion, perhaps stemming from a desire to feel something as intense as love. He advocates for love as a liberating force, not one that confines or controls. The reference to Frida Kahlo, a renowned artist known for her emotional depth and resilience, reinforces the message of self-love and the importance of loving oneself before extending that love to life and others.

The song concludes with a personal reflection, expressing regret and the acknowledgment that some actions cannot be undone. The artist admits to making mistakes but stands firm in the belief that loving someone is never one of them. The final line, pondering the nature of the creator of the world, suggests that the act of creation itself is an act of love, tying back to the theme of love as a fundamental, driving force in life.
