Poco a Poco

Chetes' song 'Poco a Poco' delves into the themes of personal transformation and the struggle to find one's place in a seemingly chaotic world. The lyrics open with a declaration of change, 'Hoy, no soy el mismo,' indicating that the narrator has emerged from a metaphorical labyrinth. This labyrinth represents confusion, challenges, or a period of introspection, and the act of emerging from it signifies a newfound clarity or self-awareness.

The song continues to explore the idea of predestination versus free will. The line 'Y como iba a cambiar si todo ya estaba escrito' suggests a sense of inevitability, as if the narrator's path was predetermined by verses in an unread book. This metaphor highlights the tension between the desire for change and the feeling of being trapped by fate or circumstances beyond one's control.

The recurring refrain, 'Poco a poco me vuelvo loco,' captures the gradual descent into madness or confusion, possibly due to the overwhelming nature of these existential questions. The repetition of 'Tal vez todo esta al reves' ('Maybe everything is upside down') underscores the disorientation and the struggle to make sense of a world that feels inverted or nonsensical. Despite this, the narrator expresses a desire to remain in an 'eternal dream' that 'jamas cambiara,' suggesting a longing for stability and peace amidst the chaos.

Chetes' musical style, often characterized by introspective lyrics and melodic instrumentation, complements the song's themes. 'Poco a Poco' invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys through life's labyrinths and the slow, often painful process of transformation and self-discovery.
