Vuelos

Bersuit Vergarabat's song 'Vuelos,' which translates to 'Flights' in English, is a rich tapestry of metaphor and emotion. The Argentine rock band is known for their eclectic style, blending rock with a variety of other genres, and often incorporating social and political themes into their music. 'Vuelos' seems to delve into the complexities of human relationships and the internal struggles that come with them.

The lyrics suggest a narrative of someone who is captivated and possibly overwhelmed by another person's presence ('Vos me estás mirando y yo voy a caer'). The repeated references to falling and the imagery of being trapped ('A buscar tu prisión') imply a sense of helplessness or being controlled by the other person's influence. The 'prison' could symbolize a toxic relationship or the constraints of one's own emotions. The mention of 'nylon' opening its wings could be a metaphor for vulnerability and exposure, as nylon is a material that can easily be seen through, suggesting that the narrator is laying bare their feelings.

The song's chorus, with its haunting repetition of 'Solo voy a volver,' which means 'I will only return,' and 'Siempre me vas a ver,' meaning 'You will always see me,' evokes a sense of inescapability and the cyclical nature of these emotional flights. The imagery of eyes turning to mud in a flood ('Ya mis ojos son barro en la inundación') could represent being overwhelmed by emotions to the point of losing clarity or vision. Overall, 'Vuelos' paints a picture of the tumultuous journey through the highs and lows of emotional entanglement.
