Hacia Lo Salvaje

Amaral's song 'Hacia Lo Salvaje' tells the story of a woman who chooses to break free from the constraints of her upbringing and venture into the wild. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her escape from a stifling environment, symbolized by her departure from the house where she was born. This act of rebellion is not just a physical journey but a profound emotional and spiritual quest for freedom and self-discovery.

The protagonist's decision to live 'hacia lo salvaje' (towards the wild) signifies a return to a more primal, unrestrained state of being. The wild, represented by the mountains and the forest, becomes her sanctuary and a place of empowerment. The lyrics suggest that in nature, she finds solace and strength, listening to 'voces de tiempos remotos' (voices of ancient times) that connect her to a deeper, more authentic existence. This connection to nature and the past underscores a theme of reclaiming one's true self, away from societal expectations and pressures.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and defiance. The line 'No tenéis ni idea de lo alto que puedo volar' (You have no idea how high I can fly) reflects her unyielding spirit and determination to rise above the hardships she faced. Each blow she received is described as a countdown to her ultimate liberation, culminating in her running towards the forest, her new fortress and home. Amaral's powerful narrative and evocative imagery in 'Hacia Lo Salvaje' celebrate the courage to pursue one's path, no matter how wild or unconventional it may be.
