Yo Pensaba Que Me Habia Tocado Dios

Carolina Durante's song "Yo Pensaba Que Me Habia Tocado Dios" delves into the profound themes of existential longing and the quest for genuine human connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels lost and empty, yearning for a meaningful relationship that transcends the superficial interactions of everyday life. The opening lines, "Quiero congelar el sueño en el que pudimos hablar / Sin miedo a sentirme un desconocido," express a desire to capture a moment of true communication, free from the fear of feeling like a stranger. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which explores the internal struggle of escaping one's own emptiness and the external pressures of society.

The chorus, with its repeated lines "Y quiero salir a buscarte / Al final nunca es tarde / Para huir de todo esto que hay aquí," emphasizes the urgency and determination to find this elusive connection. The use of the word "huir" (to flee) suggests a need to escape from the current state of existence, which is filled with disillusionment and a lack of fulfillment. The song's protagonist believes that finding this connection is the key to overcoming their inner void and achieving a sense of purpose.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of disillusionment with societal expectations. The lines "Nos enseñaron a lucharlo / A pelear por nuestro fajo / Pero no aprendimos a querer" critique the way society teaches us to fight for material success but fails to teach us how to love and form meaningful relationships. The protagonist's realization that they are not invincible, as expressed in "Y yo pensaba que me había tocado Dios / Pensaba que era inmortal / Hasta el día en que te conocí," highlights the transformative power of love and connection. The song concludes with a powerful declaration of the protagonist's willingness to sacrifice everything for the chance to experience true love, underscoring the depth of their longing and the importance of human connection in giving life meaning.
