Amor a Mares

Luis Eduardo Aute's song 'Amor a Mares' is a poetic critique of contemporary society, wrapped in a call for a transformative flood of love. The lyrics begin by addressing the pessimistic views of those who believe the world is collapsing, particularly in the 21st century. Aute refers to these individuals as 'new Jeremiahs,' alluding to the biblical prophet known for his lamentations. He challenges their despair over the end of a utopia that has auctioned off its future, suggesting that their lamentations are futile.

Aute then proposes a radical solution to the world's woes: a deluge of love. He envisions this flood as a way to drown out the horrors and sufferings of the world. This metaphorical flood is a stark contrast to the materialistic and power-driven pursuits of society's elite, whom he criticizes for their hollow achievements. The 'capos of the sects,' 'popes of the golden calves,' and the 'elite of the correct law' are all depicted as figures whose triumphs are ultimately meaningless, destined to be swept away by the winds of change.

In the final verses, Aute shifts focus to the dreamers and outcasts, those who live on the fringes of power and societal norms. These individuals, though 'lost,' are never 'losers.' They are portrayed as the most beautiful aspect of 'nothingness,' suggesting that their dreams and ideals hold intrinsic value, even if they don't conform to mainstream success. Through 'Amor a Mares,' Aute calls for a profound shift in values, advocating for love and dreams over materialism and power.
