Coincidir

Fernando Delgadillo's song "Coincidir" delves into the profound and often mystifying nature of human existence and the serendipitous moments that bring people together. The lyrics reflect on the sheer improbability of two individuals meeting in the vast expanse of time and space. Delgadillo begins by acknowledging his temporary presence in the world and marvels at the coincidence that someone else is there with him. This sets the tone for a contemplative exploration of life's strange and beautiful coincidences.

The song's recurring theme is the vastness of the universe and the countless possibilities that exist within it. Delgadillo uses metaphors like navigating through space with his mind and returning to his ancestors to illustrate the overwhelming nature of existence. Despite the infinite number of worlds and centuries, the fact that two lives can intersect is portrayed as a miraculous event. This sense of wonder is further emphasized when he speaks of capturing a blossoming star, only to be alarmed by the realization of the countless other stars and moments that exist.

Delgadillo's lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of life. He suggests that life is sustained by moments, and each moment is an opportunity for existence. The idea that another person's life is just another moment in the grand scheme of things adds to the sense of bewilderment and awe. The repetition of the phrase "tantos siglos, tantos mundos, tanto espacio, y coincidir" (so many centuries, so many worlds, so much space, and to coincide) serves as a poignant reminder of the extraordinary nature of human connections.
