Quiero Sentirlo Todo

Arath Herce's song 'Quiero Sentirlo Todo' is a powerful anthem about embracing the full spectrum of human emotions and experiences. The lyrics convey a deep desire to live life to its fullest, without fear or hesitation. The opening lines, 'Yo no pienso morir como un cobarde / Quiero gritar hasta acabarme la voz,' set the tone for a narrative of courage and authenticity. Herce expresses a longing to feel everything intensely, to the point of exhaustion, and to confront life's challenges head-on rather than avoiding them.

The song also touches on themes of redemption and the passage of time. Lines like 'Para pedir disculpas ya es muy tarde / Que Dios me enseñe cómo hacer el amor' suggest a recognition of past mistakes and a yearning for spiritual and emotional growth. The repeated refrain, 'Hoy quiero sentirlo todo,' emphasizes a shift from a desire for salvation to a desire for complete immersion in life's experiences. This shift is further highlighted by the imagery of visiting a place 'dónde el cielo arde,' symbolizing a journey into the heart of intense, transformative experiences.

Herce's lyrics also reflect a defiance against external judgments and societal expectations. The lines 'Y cuando a mi puerta lloren las sirenas / Quiero decir que valió la pena' convey a sense of resolve and self-assurance. The sirens, often symbols of danger or warning, are met with a declaration that the journey was worthwhile. This defiance is reinforced by the closing lines, which reject the idea of living a life dictated by others: 'No quiero que me encuentre el final / En una vida ajena.' Herce's message is clear: life is meant to be lived fully, with all its pain and joy, and on one's own terms.
