Como Estaba Ahi Dios

In 'Como Estaba Ahi Dios,' Cuchilla Grande delves into the profound and often troubling question of divine presence amidst human suffering. The song opens with the narrator placing themselves in the same position as God, witnessing the relentless hardships and miseries that plague humanity. This perspective sets the stage for a deep contemplation on the nature of divine patience and power. The narrator is struck by the immense patience of God, pondering how such a powerful being can allow so much suffering to persist. This reflection is not just a critique but also an exploration of faith and endurance.

The lyrics further explore the paradox of divine power and human suffering. The narrator questions how a being with such omnipotence can permit the widespread ignorance and unconsciousness that characterize much of human behavior. This leads to a sense of shame and frustration, as the narrator grapples with the apparent disconnect between divine power and human misery. The song suggests that perhaps God allows these conditions to test the limits of human faith and resilience. This idea is encapsulated in the repeated refrain, 'como estaba ahi dios, estuve yo tambien,' emphasizing the shared experience of witnessing suffering.

As the song progresses, it touches on themes of free will and destiny. The narrator acknowledges that humans are the architects of their own fate, weaving their destinies with actions often filled with malice. This realization brings a sense of despair about the state of the world, yet it also reinforces the idea that human beings are responsible for their own actions. The song concludes with a poignant uncertainty about the future, underscoring the narrator's unwavering faith despite the overwhelming challenges. This blend of existential questioning and steadfast faith makes 'Como Estaba Ahi Dios' a powerful meditation on the human condition and the divine.
