Vivir Soñando

Christopher Von Uckermann's song 'Vivir Soñando' is a poetic exploration of the desire to live in a dreamlike state, where reality and fantasy intertwine. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of walking step by step on a map drawn by one's own fantasies, suggesting a journey guided by dreams rather than concrete plans. This imagery is further emphasized by the phrase 'sonámbulo deseo,' which translates to 'sleepwalking desire,' indicating a state of being where one is driven by subconscious aspirations and dreams.

The recurring line 'Solamente me falta vestir de negro al sol' (I only need to dress the sun in black) is a powerful metaphor for altering reality to fit one's dreams. It suggests a desire to transform the day into night, symbolizing a preference for the dream world over the harsh light of reality. The line 'Para que quiero la luna, si la noche soy yo' (Why do I need the moon if I am the night) further reinforces this idea, indicating a deep connection with the night and the dream state, to the point where the singer embodies it.

The song also touches on the theme of madness, with the line 'Cuanto falta de carrera para rebasar la meta sin que la locura nos alcance' (How much of the race is left to reach the goal without madness catching up to us). This suggests a struggle to achieve one's dreams without losing touch with reality. The repetition of the desire to live dreaming highlights a longing for a life where dreams and reality are indistinguishable, a state of perpetual creativity and imagination.

'Vivir Soñando' is a beautiful and introspective song that delves into the human desire to escape reality and live in a world shaped by dreams and fantasies. It captures the essence of longing, creativity, and the delicate balance between dreams and madness.
