Qué Pasará

Café Tacvba's song 'Qué Pasará' delves into the existential uncertainties and the inevitable passage of time. The lyrics reflect a sense of introspection and contemplation about the choices one makes in life. The recurring question, 'Qué pasará' (What will happen), underscores the theme of uncertainty and the unknown future. The singer ponders the consequences of living life recklessly, likening himself to a cat with multiple lives, suggesting a sense of invincibility or perhaps a disregard for the consequences of his actions.

The metaphor of 'gastando vidas, como si fuera felino' (spending lives as if I were a feline) is particularly striking. It evokes the idea of living on the edge, taking risks, and the potential for multiple chances or rebirths. However, this lifestyle is not without its perils, as the singer acknowledges the 'lado oscuro' (dark side) that seems inevitable. This could represent the darker aspects of life, such as mistakes, regrets, or the consequences of one's actions catching up.

The song also touches on the idea of seeking something more meaningful or 'el amor saludable' (healthy love), which contrasts with the reckless behavior described earlier. This suggests a desire for balance and healing amidst the chaos. The line 'Voy de frente, solo preguntando, al destino' (I go forward, only asking destiny) encapsulates the essence of the song – moving forward in life with curiosity and a bit of trepidation, aware of the void and uncertainty that the future holds. 'Qué Pasará' is a poignant reflection on the human condition, the choices we make, and the inevitable march of time.
