Genesis

Amistades Peligrosas' song 'Genesis' delves into the biblical account of creation, offering a poetic and reflective take on the origins of the world and humanity. The lyrics begin with the familiar narrative from the Book of Genesis, where God creates the heavens and the earth, bringing light into existence and separating it from darkness. This initial act of creation sets the stage for the unfolding of life, with the artist placing themselves in the midst of the primordial night, suggesting a personal connection to the divine narrative.

As the song progresses, it highlights God's creation of the firmament, stars, and the sun, emphasizing the beauty and order of the universe. The lyrics then shift focus to the creation of life on earth, particularly the growth of vegetation and the emergence of humanity. The repeated phrase 'creó al hombre, también a la mujer' underscores the equality and shared origin of both genders, reflecting a theme of unity and balance. This egalitarian view is further reinforced by the command to 'llenad la tierra y sometedla,' suggesting a joint stewardship of the world.

The narrative reaches a poignant moment when God observes man's loneliness and creates a companion from his rib. This act of creating woman from man is portrayed as a fulfillment of human happiness and completeness, with the man joyfully recognizing his partner as 'carne de mi carne, huesos de mis huesos.' The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the divine creation of humanity, encapsulating a sense of divine intention and harmony. Through its lyrical retelling of the Genesis story, Amistades Peligrosas invites listeners to reflect on themes of creation, equality, and the intrinsic connection between man and woman.
