Ser Invisible

In 'Ser Invisible,' Cienfuegos delves into themes of identity, freedom, and the struggle to break free from oppressive circumstances. The song opens with the poignant question, '¿Cómo salir de esta casa?' which translates to 'How do I leave this house?' This line sets the tone for a narrative of entrapment and the desire for liberation. The repetition of 'Ser invisible bajo el sol' ('To be invisible under the sun') suggests a yearning to escape unnoticed, to blend into the world without the weight of societal expectations or personal burdens.

The lyrics then transition into a more surreal and hopeful imagery with 'Puedo volar sin alas' ('I can fly without wings') and 'Pedirle al tiempo que vuelva' ('Ask time to return'). These lines evoke a sense of limitless possibilities and the power of imagination to transcend reality. The mention of the 'reloj de la vida' ('clock of life') slowing down and the impossible happening further emphasizes a break from the constraints of time and reality, hinting at a desire to rewrite one's destiny.

The song takes a darker turn with the lines 'Ponerle una bomba a tu iglesia' ('Put a bomb in your church') and 'Pedazos de dios por el aire' ('Pieces of God in the air'). This imagery is stark and provocative, symbolizing a rebellion against established norms and institutions. The question 'Quien puede decir qué es culpable' ('Who can say what is guilty') challenges the notion of guilt and innocence, suggesting that the lines between right and wrong are often blurred. Through these powerful metaphors, Cienfuegos explores the complexities of personal and societal liberation, questioning the structures that confine us and the lengths one might go to achieve true freedom.
