Escucha

In 'Escucha,' Cartel de Santa delves into the profound and often tumultuous journey of chasing dreams and the existential struggles that accompany it. The song opens with the artist expressing a sense of perpetual dreaming, a state from which he never awakens. This dream is not idyllic; instead, it is marred by dark clouds, symbolizing the challenges and obstacles that obscure his path. The lyrics convey a sense of lost faith and fleeting time, as the artist grapples with the uncertainty of whether his opportunities are approaching or slipping away.

The song's introspective nature is further highlighted by the artist's reflection on his own shortcomings. He acknowledges a lack of patience and the tendency to set his sights too far, often leading to the construction of metaphorical castles without solid foundations. This imagery underscores the fragility of his aspirations and the internal conflict between ambition and reality. The artist's struggle is not just external but deeply internal, as he battles with his own consciousness and the murmurs of doubt within his soul.

Despite the overwhelming sense of despair and the numerous 'inconclusive ideas' that have filled his texts, there is a persistent glimmer of hope. The artist's heart refuses to give up, urging him to continue the fight. The repeated plea to his heart to 'listen' signifies a desperate call for inner strength and resilience. 'Escucha' is a poignant exploration of the human condition, capturing the essence of perseverance in the face of adversity and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams, no matter how elusive they may seem.
