Bien

Babasónicos' song 'Bien' delves into themes of uncertainty, fearlessness, and the complexities of relationships. The lyrics open with a plea for choice and recognition, 'Elegime a mi, vos sabes porque,' which translates to 'Choose me, you know why.' This sets the stage for a narrative where the protagonist is ready to face the unknown, emphasizing a lack of fear and a willingness to go wherever the journey leads, 'no tengo miedo.' This sentiment of embracing uncertainty is a recurring theme throughout the song.

The lyrics also explore the passage of time and its impact on relationships. Lines like 'el tiempo paso y ella lo durmió' ('time passed and she slept through it') and 'tu indecisión te llevo a la nada' ('your indecision led you to nothing') reflect on missed opportunities and the consequences of indecision. The protagonist seems to find solace in the present moment, expressing happiness and a desire to be together forever, 'puedo vernos hoy, que feliz que soy, juntos para siempre.' However, this happiness is juxtaposed with a sense of disillusionment and the realization that some dreams may be unattainable, 'basta de mentiras, estoy soñando.'

The song concludes with a sense of resolution and a readiness to move on. The protagonist decides to leave, seeking distance and a fresh start, 'me voy a cualquier lado, que sea lejos.' This departure is not just physical but also emotional, as they prepare to forget past wrongs and embrace a new beginning. The imagery of 'hienas me sonríen con placer' ('hyenas smile at me with pleasure') and the empty bed prepared for two underscores the loneliness and the end of a significant chapter. Despite the heartache, the protagonist asserts their well-being, 'yo estoy bien,' signaling a resilient spirit ready to face whatever comes next.
