Constelación (feat. Lia Kali)

"Constelación" by DUKI, featuring Lia Kali, is a reflective exploration of the artist's journey through fame, self-discovery, and the pursuit of dreams. The song delves into the emotional complexities that arise when one's aspirations begin to materialize, yet the accompanying challenges and pressures threaten to overshadow the initial joy and inspiration. DUKI questions the source of his creativity, pondering whether the pain that once fueled his art has dissipated, leaving him to wonder about the direction of his music.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young dreamer who once found solace in the stars, seeking guidance and validation from the universe. This metaphor of stars and constellations symbolizes the artist's aspirations and the limitless potential he once envisioned. However, as he navigates the realities of fame, he grapples with feelings of disorientation and a sense of being adrift, as expressed through the imagery of spiraling and being "medio muerta" or half-dead. This reflects the internal conflict between the desire for more and the struggle to maintain authenticity amidst external pressures.

Lia Kali's contribution adds a layer of vulnerability, emphasizing the shared experience of feeling lost and searching for direction. The repeated acknowledgment of "tanta' balas ya lanzadas" (so many bullets already fired) suggests a recognition of past struggles and the resilience required to keep moving forward. The song ultimately conveys a message of gratitude for the opportunities presented, while also acknowledging the sacrifices and internal battles that accompany the pursuit of greatness. DUKI's promise to his mother not to change underscores a commitment to staying true to himself, despite the transformative nature of his journey.
