Asi es la vida

Annette Moreno's song "Asi es la vida" delves into the profound struggles and eventual redemption that one encounters in life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a weary traveler, whose journey is fraught with challenges and entanglements. The opening lines, "Mis pies cansados, seguir no puedo, el viaje es largo, lleno de enredos," set the tone for a narrative of exhaustion and frustration. The phrase "así es la vida" (that's life) is repeated, emphasizing the acceptance of life's inherent difficulties and the sacrifices that often feel futile.

The pre-chorus and chorus further explore the theme of despair and the search for meaning. The protagonist cries out to the heavens, feeling lost and unable to find their guiding star. The repetition of being "cansado del camino" (tired of the road) and not finding one's destiny highlights a deep sense of disorientation and hopelessness. The imagery of searching for the lost in the "mares del olvido" (seas of oblivion) suggests a profound sense of being adrift and forgotten.

However, the song takes a turn towards hope and redemption. The protagonist expresses a desire to trust someone and acknowledges that life without faith or a higher purpose is meaningless. The final lines reveal a transformation: "Cansado del camino, he encontrado mi destino, buscando lo perdido me encontraste soy tu hijo." This signifies a moment of spiritual awakening and finding one's place, suggesting that through faith and perseverance, one can overcome life's hardships and find a sense of belonging and purpose.
