Todo Lo Que Se Fue

In 'Todo Lo Que Se Fue,' Dread Mar I delves into the ephemeral nature of time and the importance of living in the moment. The song opens with a call to release everything now and not hold anything back, emphasizing the urgency of the present. The artist suggests that words may lose their significance by tomorrow, highlighting the transient nature of life and the fleeting opportunity to express oneself. This urgency is further underscored by the line, 'Deseáme lo que quieras, marcame la espalda,' which translates to 'Wish me whatever you want, mark my back.' This metaphorical language suggests a willingness to endure pain or pleasure in the present moment, as it won't change the course of life.

The chorus, 'Deborame de a poco y llevate mi piel, no volveran los años, todo lo que se fue,' which means 'Devour me slowly and take my skin, the years won't return, everything that went away,' serves as a poignant reminder of the irreversible passage of time. The imagery of being devoured slowly and having one's skin taken away symbolizes the gradual erosion of time and the inevitability of aging and loss. The repetition of this chorus reinforces the idea that once time has passed, it cannot be reclaimed, urging listeners to cherish the present.

Dread Mar I also touches on themes of destiny and justice, questioning the fairness of life and the subjective nature of truth. The line, 'Le llamas el destino a tu conveniencia, nunca la justicia fue así,' or 'You call it destiny for your convenience, justice was never like that,' critiques the way people often manipulate the concept of destiny to suit their needs. The artist warns against believing everything that crosses one's mind, as life's traps and one's own conscience can distort reality. This introspective and philosophical approach adds depth to the song, making it not just a reflection on time but also a critique of human nature and societal constructs.
