Fresias

The song 'Fresias' by Buitres is a poignant exploration of longing, self-discovery, and the search for a better life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their inner turmoil and yearning for a sense of peace and belonging. The imagery of 'fresias en las manos' (fresias in the hands) and 'ojos de lluvia' (eyes of rain) suggests a delicate yet melancholic state of being, where beauty and sadness coexist. The mention of 'cuatro filtros muertos' (four dead filters) could symbolize barriers or obstacles that have been overcome or discarded, hinting at a journey of personal growth.

The recurring theme of questioning one's place in the world is evident in the lines 'donde hay otra vida para mi?' (where is another life for me?) and 'donde me perdí?' (where did I lose myself?). These questions reflect a deep sense of disorientation and a desire for change. The invitation to 'vamos al mar' (let's go to the sea) and 'vamos a otro lugar' (let's go to another place) signifies a longing for escape and a fresh start. The sea, often a symbol of vastness and freedom, represents the possibility of renewal and healing.

The lyrics also delve into themes of identity and self-acceptance. The lines 'esta piel no es mi piel' (this skin is not my skin) and 'es mi cara un cristal roto en mil pedazos' (my face is a crystal broken into a thousand pieces) convey a sense of alienation and fragmentation. The protagonist struggles with their self-image and the feeling of not fitting into their own skin. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the desire to 'estar bien' (be well) and the acknowledgment that 'yo no elijo mi suerte' (I don't choose my fate). This acceptance of life's unpredictability suggests a readiness to embrace whatever comes next, with the hope that 'puede ser esta vez' (it could be this time) things will improve.
