Si Te Ves

Cadena Perpetua's song 'Si Te Ves' delves into the struggles of maintaining one's identity and dreams in a world that often feels oppressive and unchanging. The lyrics convey a sense of resilience and determination, emphasizing the importance of not giving up on one's aspirations despite the challenges. The opening lines, 'Si te ves, sentirás / Que no siempre es fácil respirar,' highlight the difficulty of simply existing in such a world, where breathing itself can be a struggle. This metaphorical suffocation represents the broader societal pressures that stifle individuality and personal growth.

The song also touches on the theme of resistance against conformity. Lines like 'Morirá, si cedés / Lo que siempre vos quisiste ser' suggest that surrendering one's true self leads to a metaphorical death. The artist encourages listeners to hold on to their dreams and not resign themselves to a life dictated by external forces. The repeated refrain, 'Pero no me resigne a soñar... a soñar...' serves as a powerful reminder to keep dreaming and striving for a better future, even when the world seems resistant to change.

Furthermore, 'Si Te Ves' addresses the collective struggle against societal injustices. The lines 'Que no es fácil vivir si ellos nos viven así / Que asco que me dan!' express a deep frustration with those in power who perpetuate these conditions. However, the song also offers a sense of solidarity and hope, as seen in 'Buscando salidas yo te puedo encontrar / Así es mas fácil vivir aunque nos vivan así / Si me acompañas!' This suggests that finding solutions and support in each other can make the burden of living under such circumstances more bearable. The song ultimately conveys a message of enduring hope and the importance of community in the face of adversity.
