Se Deja Llevar

Antonio Orozco's song 'Se Deja Llevar' delves into the complexities of life, love, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is navigating through the ups and downs of existence, often feeling lost and carried away by the currents of fate. The recurring phrase 'Se deja llevar' (He/She lets himself/herself be carried away) underscores a sense of surrender to life's unpredictable nature. This theme is reinforced by the imagery of days passing and the silence that the narrator has buried, witnessed only by ink and paper. The song suggests a struggle with difficult days that add up and then subtract, indicating a cyclical pattern of challenges and fleeting moments of respite.

The song also touches on the confusion and turmoil brought about by destiny and the mind's tendency to be damaged by external influences. The narrator feels lost in turbulent sexual encounters and the rhythm of life, which is both alluring and disorienting. The mention of 'son de cuando llegas, son de cuando voy' (the sound of when you arrive, the sound of when I go) highlights the transient nature of relationships and experiences. This duality is further explored in the lines about money dictating the hours and the soul being detached, leading to a state of despair and entanglement.

In the concluding verses, Orozco reflects on the difference between loving someone and having them, and how losing someone is a matter of fate. The present moment is fleeting and composed of those who understand that life is intertwined with death. The song ends with a poignant realization that love, truth, and the act of letting go are more valuable than material possessions or lies. The repetition of 'Se deja llevar' serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best course of action is to surrender to the flow of life and love, accepting both its beauty and its pain.
