Par Mil

The song 'Par Mil' by the Argentine rock band Divididos is a profound exploration of self-awareness and existential reflection. The lyrics suggest a journey of introspection, where the speaker is contemplating their significance in the grand scheme of things. The recurring mention of 'luz' (light) symbolizes clarity and understanding, possibly indicating a search for enlightenment or truth within oneself. The phrase 'camino mi propia luz' (I walk my own light) emphasizes the importance of individuality and personal growth.

The contrast between 'cielo' (sky or heaven) and 'infierno' (hell) in the lyrics represents the duality of human experience, encompassing both the highs and the lows. The speaker acknowledges their past struggles, as indicated by 'si ya fui roto a tomar aire' (if I was already broken to take air) and 'caminaste por mis brasas' (you walked through my embers), suggesting a history of pain and resilience. The line 'me estrellé contra mí' (I crashed against myself) could imply a moment of self-confrontation or realization.

The song also contains a rejection of external judgment or imposed beliefs, as seen in 'No confunda che pastor / no me interesa tu cielo' (Don't be confused, shepherd / I'm not interested in your heaven). This line could be interpreted as a statement of autonomy, rejecting the idea of following someone else's path or doctrine. The speaker asserts their desire to find their own way, to wait for their own 'alma' (soul) or essence, rather than conforming to external expectations. 'Par Mil' is a call to authenticity and self-discovery, urging listeners to seek their own light and truth.
