Acaso

Luis Eduardo Aute's song 'Acaso' delves into the profound and often unspoken connection between two individuals. The opening lines, 'Acaso una mirada me bastara / Mirarte y encontrar una palabra: / Nada,' suggest that sometimes a mere glance can convey more than words ever could. This 'nothingness' is not empty but filled with a deep, mutual understanding that transcends verbal communication. The silence between them is described as 'infinite,' indicating a boundless, almost sacred space where their souls meet.

The imagery of 'juntar las bocas / abrir los grifos / que inunden nuestro humo las alcobas' evokes a sense of overflowing passion and intimacy. The metaphor of opening faucets to flood their rooms with smoke suggests a desire to be completely enveloped in each other, to the point where time itself becomes irrelevant. The lines 'que el tiempo no dependa de las horas / que sólo nos apuren los latidos' further emphasize this, as they wish for their moments together to be measured not by the ticking of a clock but by the beating of their hearts.

Aute also explores the theme of liberation from societal norms and expectations. The act of 'quemar las ropas / sudar tomillo / desnudos comulgar con la escayola' symbolizes shedding their external identities and embracing their raw, natural selves. The song culminates in a desire to 'perderse en una fiebre sin memoria,' to lose themselves in a feverish, instinctual state where they are free from the constraints of memory and reason. This final act of 'romper parodias / hacerse añicos' signifies breaking away from the absurd ceremonies of everyday life, leaving behind only the pure essence of their connection.
