Es Asi

Bulldog's song 'Es Asi' delves into the themes of inevitability and the unchanging nature of life. The lyrics reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance of one's fate, as the singer acknowledges that despite the passage of time, nothing fundamentally changes. The repetition of 'Y es así' (And it is so) underscores this sentiment, emphasizing the cyclical and unalterable aspects of existence. The reference to 'mucho tiempo de aquel carnaval' (a long time since that carnival) suggests a longing for past moments of joy and celebration, now faded and distant.

The metaphor of life as a 'gran rompecabezas' (great puzzle) is particularly poignant. The idea that 'faltan piezas para armarlo todo entero' (pieces are always missing to complete it) speaks to the inherent incompleteness and imperfection of life. This imagery conveys a sense of frustration and futility, as the singer recognizes that no matter how hard one tries, the puzzle can never be fully solved. The line 'Tendrán que empezar de cero otra vez' (They will have to start from scratch again) further emphasizes the repetitive and Sisyphean nature of human endeavors.

The song also touches on the theme of disillusionment with the present. The lyrics 'Nada nuevo hay en este lugar' (There is nothing new in this place) and 'Nada que me pueda hacer cambiar y volver a empezar' (Nothing that can make me change and start over) reflect a deep sense of stagnation and hopelessness. The imagery of a bell that should not be rung until the round is over suggests a struggle that must be endured to its bitter end, reinforcing the idea that change is not only difficult but perhaps impossible. Through 'Es Asi,' Bulldog captures the essence of life's relentless and unchanging nature, offering a raw and honest reflection on the human condition.
