Embracing Simplicity and Self-Discovery in 'He Aprendido a Vivir'
Auryn's song 'He Aprendido a Vivir' delves into themes of simplicity, self-discovery, and the complexities of life and relationships. The lyrics reflect a journey of learning to live with minimal possessions and finding contentment in the small, meaningful aspects of life. The opening lines, 'He aprendido a vivir con lo poco que tengo / No necesito más,' set the tone for a narrative that values emotional richness over material wealth. The mention of a voice that 'acaricia la razón' (caresses the reason) suggests the importance of emotional connections and inner peace.
The song also explores the idea of unresolved pasts and hidden stories, as seen in the lines about letters without senders and stories hidden under rugs and mattresses. This imagery evokes a sense of mystery and the weight of untold stories. The reference to 'Chaparrón en París' (downpour in Paris) and an unopened trunk waiting to be moved to Madrid adds a layer of nostalgia and the anticipation of new beginnings. The struggle to open closed eyes to the future highlights the difficulty of moving on from the past and embracing new possibilities.
A significant part of the song is the declaration of taking control of one's life and decisions. The lyrics 'Hoy quiero vivir pensando en que soy yo / Quien ha tomado una firme decisión' emphasize the empowerment that comes from making firm decisions and escaping the influence of others who try to dictate one's memories. The metaphor of not returning to the 'cementerio de las ilusiones compartidas' (cemetery of shared illusions) signifies a break from past disappointments and a commitment to personal growth. The song concludes with a hopeful message of letting go of darkness and embracing light, symbolizing a journey towards self-acceptance and new beginnings.
