Universe

Ambar Lucid's song 'Universe' is a poetic exploration of self-identity, freedom, and the mystical connection between the individual and the cosmos. The lyrics open with a vivid metaphor of the devil looking into her eyes, symbolizing a confrontation with inner demons or external challenges. This sets the stage for a journey of self-discovery and resilience. The recurring theme of magic in the song represents personal power and transformation, though it comes with the acknowledgment of its potential consequences, as seen in the line 'I used too much of my magic, this will only end so tragically.'

The bilingual nature of the lyrics, switching between English and Spanish, adds a layer of cultural richness and personal authenticity. Phrases like 'Nunca me quedo en un solo sitio' and 'Siempre cambio yo me muevo como el viento' emphasize the artist's transient nature and her resistance to being confined to one place or identity. This fluidity is further highlighted by the repeated assertion, 'I belong to the universe, I don't belong to anyone else,' which underscores a sense of belonging to something greater than oneself, rather than to any individual or societal expectation.

The song also touches on themes of love and emotional complexity. The line 'All the pretty sad boys want to fall in love with me' suggests a pattern of attracting emotionally complex individuals, yet there is a reluctance to fully reveal her feelings, as expressed in 'I don't really want to show you what I'm feeling.' This tension between connection and independence is a central theme, reflecting a desire for freedom and self-expression without being tethered to others. Ultimately, 'Universe' is a celebration of cosmic freedom and the boundless nature of the self, inviting listeners to embrace their own unique place in the universe.
