Finding Solace Under the Moonlight: A Journey of Self-Discovery
“Mirando a La Luna” by Beret, featuring Reik, is a poignant exploration of self-discovery and emotional liberation. The song delves into the complexities of a relationship that has lost its essence, where the protagonist feels unseen and unappreciated. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that was doomed from the start, with lines like “Esto estaba roto antes de empezar” (This was broken before it began) highlighting the inevitable downfall. The protagonist reflects on the misguided belief in their strength as a couple, only to realize that they were never truly fortunate or strong together.
The chorus, “Porque estoy mirando a la Luna” (Because I am looking at the Moon), serves as a metaphor for introspection and clarity. The moon, often associated with reflection and calm, symbolizes the protagonist’s journey towards understanding their own needs and desires. The realization that they are their own cure, “Porque yo solo soy mi cura,” signifies a powerful moment of self-empowerment. The protagonist acknowledges that seeking sanity and peace within themselves is not madness but a necessary step towards healing.
The song also touches on the theme of toxic relationships and the importance of self-worth. The lines “Tú me tratabas como a tu juguete” (You treated me like your toy) and “Hay más distancia entre tú y yo que un vuelo de México a Madrid” (There is more distance between you and me than a flight from Mexico to Madrid) emphasize the emotional distance and mistreatment experienced. Ultimately, the protagonist wishes their former partner well but recognizes the need to part ways for their own well-being. The song’s message is clear: sometimes, one must endure pain and solitude to find true peace and self-love.
