El Motivo

Axel's song 'El Motivo' is a heartfelt anthem that delves into the struggles and triumphs of life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of despair and confusion, where life seems to lose its meaning, and loneliness and silence become overwhelming. The imagery of 'azufre en el café' (sulfur in the coffee) and 'arena movediza' (quicksand) symbolizes the toxic and unstable nature of these dark moments. However, the song is not just about acknowledging these hardships; it is a powerful call to action to overcome them.

The chorus of the song is a rallying cry for resilience and optimism. Axel encourages listeners to 'bebe, canta, juega, vive' (drink, sing, play, live) and to embrace life with all its ups and downs. The repetition of these verbs serves as a reminder that life is meant to be lived fully, despite the challenges. The line 'estar vivo es el motivo para celebrar' (being alive is the reason to celebrate) encapsulates the core message of the song: life itself is a gift, and every moment is an opportunity to find joy and meaning.

Axel also touches on the importance of self-belief and the power of positive thinking. He suggests that even in the darkest times, we have the option to 'confiar en uno mismo' (trust in oneself) and to 'inocular optimismo' (inject optimism). This perspective is crucial for overcoming adversity and finding light in the darkness. The song concludes with a hopeful note, urging listeners to listen to their hearts and reassuring them that they are not alone in their struggles. 'El Motivo' is a beautiful reminder that life, with all its complexities, is worth celebrating and that we have the strength within us to rise above our challenges.
