El Fuego Que Hemos Construído

El Mato A Un Policia Motorizado's song "El Fuego Que Hemos Construído" delves into themes of regret, longing, and the inevitable changes that come with time. The repetitive nature of the lyrics, particularly the lines "Esta noche me despierto y pienso en el tiempo perdido" (Tonight I wake up and think about the lost time), emphasizes a deep sense of regret and reflection. The protagonist is haunted by the nights spent contemplating the time that has slipped away, suggesting a profound sense of loss and missed opportunities.

The desire for connection is palpable in the lines "Quiero mirarte, mirarte y que me mires" (I want to look at you, look at you and have you look at me). This repetition underscores a yearning for mutual recognition and understanding, highlighting the importance of being seen and acknowledged by a significant other. The act of looking and being looked at symbolizes a deeper emotional connection that the protagonist craves, perhaps as a remedy to the feelings of lost time.

The song takes a poignant turn with the lines "Ya nada va a ser igual, vos no vas a ser igual" (Nothing will be the same, you will not be the same). This acknowledgment of change signifies the end of a particular phase, metaphorically described as the end of the best vacations. It suggests that the relationship or the period in question was once idyllic but has now irrevocably changed. The fire they built together, as implied by the song's title, represents the shared experiences and emotions that have now transformed, leaving the protagonist to grapple with the new reality.
