Embracing Vulnerability and Self-Discovery in 'Se Vale Correr'
Allison's song 'Se Vale Correr' delves into the complex emotions of self-acceptance, vulnerability, and the struggle to break free from one's own limitations. The lyrics express a deep desire to escape from the constraints of one's identity and the internal battles that come with it. The opening lines, 'Quisiera aprender a no ser yo, Romper con el molde de lo que soy,' highlight the yearning to break free from the mold and redefine oneself. This sentiment is further emphasized by the wish to 'aprender a matar mis defectos,' or learn to kill one's flaws, indicating a struggle with self-criticism and the pursuit of personal growth.
The recurring theme of running away, as seen in the chorus 'Se vale correr, se vale correr,' suggests that sometimes it's okay to escape from overwhelming situations. The rooftop, described as a 'fiel amiga' or faithful friend, symbolizes a place of solace and reflection, helping the narrator to regain their sense of self. This metaphorical space allows for introspection and the processing of emotions, providing a temporary refuge from life's chaos.
The song also touches on the pain of suppressing emotions, with lines like 'Estas lágrimas no soy yo, Son el eco del dolor,' indicating that the tears are merely an echo of long-held pain. The struggle to express true feelings and the fear of vulnerability are central to the narrative. The closing lines, 'Quisiera saber a dónde voy, Porque sigo huyendo de lo que soy,' encapsulate the ongoing journey of self-discovery and the quest to find one's true path. 'Se Vale Correr' ultimately portrays the universal human experience of grappling with identity, emotions, and the courage to face oneself.
