Mis Planes
Coti
The Relentless Journey of Life in 'Mis Planes'
Coti's song 'Mis Planes' delves into the relentless pursuit of life and the refusal to succumb to stagnation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey through the 'path of oblivion,' where lights barely aware of their existence symbolize people who live without truly experiencing life. This metaphor extends to the 'path of grays,' representing a monotonous existence devoid of color and vibrancy. Coti suggests that if life lacks color, one must invent it, emphasizing the importance of creativity and imagination in overcoming life's dull moments.
The recurring refrain 'Parar parar parar parar, eso no está en mis planes' (Stop, stop, stop, stop, that's not in my plans) underscores the artist's determination to keep moving forward. Coti contrasts this with those who let time pass by, referring to them as 'bacanes,' a colloquial term for people who live leisurely without ambition. This distinction highlights the artist's disdain for complacency and his commitment to an active, purposeful life.
Additionally, the song touches on the passage of time and trends, with lines like 'pasaron las modas' (fashions passed) and 'pasan las carrozas' (carriages pass). These lines reflect the transient nature of societal trends and the inevitability of change. Despite this, Coti expresses a desire to remain steadfast and true to himself, as seen in the repeated declaration 'yo me quiero quedar' (I want to stay). This sentiment encapsulates the essence of the song: a celebration of perseverance, individuality, and the refusal to be swept away by the currents of time and societal expectations.
