Sé de un ser

Buena Fe's song "Sé de un ser" delves into the complexities of human emotions, particularly focusing on the themes of innocence, desire, and the transient nature of life. The lyrics express a longing for a return to innocence, a state where one's purity remains untainted by the harsh realities of the world. This desire for innocence is juxtaposed with the acknowledgment that a certain level of 'maldad' or wickedness is necessary to navigate life's challenges. The song reflects a deep yearning for simplicity and purity, while also recognizing the inevitability of life's complexities.

The song introduces a character described as 'temporal como el invierno' (as temporary as winter), who struggles to understand the deeper meanings behind life's fleeting moments, such as meaningless kisses and easy declarations of love. This character embodies a sense of disillusionment and a lack of understanding of the true essence of love and life. The repeated phrase 'La vida es una sola' (Life is only one) underscores a sense of urgency and a carpe diem attitude, suggesting that life should be lived without regrets, even if it means embracing superficial or fleeting pleasures.

Buena Fe also explores the duality of human nature through the metaphor of a 'brújula al deseo' (compass to desire), highlighting the conflict between genuine love and superficial attractions. The character in the song is portrayed as someone who masks the night with a facade of true love, yet is allergic to effort and commitment. This duality is further emphasized by the contrast between old-fashioned courtship and modern, fleeting relationships. The song ultimately paints a picture of a person who, despite their flaws and transient nature, is deeply loved and remembered, encapsulating the bittersweet essence of human connections and the fleeting nature of life.
