A Solas (feat. Slim)

Charles Ans' song 'A Solas (feat. Slim)' delves into themes of solitude, introspection, and the complexities of human relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man grappling with his inner thoughts and emotions while being physically isolated. The opening lines, 'A solas me llegó este encierro / Y vivo con tres, te hablo de mis perros,' set the stage for a narrative of loneliness and self-reflection. The mention of his dogs as his only companions highlights the depth of his solitude and the comfort he finds in their presence.

The song explores the pain of unreciprocated love and the struggle to understand one's own feelings. Lines like 'No siempre quise como me quisieron / Bueno, no sé si duelo como me dolieron' suggest a sense of guilt and confusion about past relationships. The artist questions the authenticity of his emotions and the true nature of his connections, pondering whether the pleasure derived from physical intimacy was genuine or merely a distraction from deeper issues.

'A Solas' also touches on the importance of self-awareness and the consequences of one's words and actions. The advice from his mother, 'Cuidado con lo que hablas / Cuida lo que digas, cuida tus palabras,' serves as a reminder to be mindful of the impact of his speech. This theme of caution and reflection is further emphasized by the recurring idea of learning through hardship, as the artist admits, 'sigo aprendiendo a la mala.' The song ultimately portrays a journey of self-discovery and the realization that time lost cannot be regained, encapsulated in the poignant refrain, 'Todo el tiempo que perdí / No lo voy a repetir.'
