Chasing Dreams and Lost Love in 'Déjate Seguir'
Elefante's song 'Déjate Seguir' is a poignant exploration of longing, dreams, and the passage of time. The lyrics convey a deep sense of yearning and the inevitable march of time, which leaves nothing behind. The singer expresses a desire to reconnect with a lost love, searching for them even as the dawn breaks. This search is not just physical but also emotional, as the singer wishes to invade the space of their beloved and follow them, suggesting a deep, almost obsessive longing.
The chorus of the song speaks to the desire to take the beloved to the stars, to reach any destination they wish, and to hold them captive in a metaphorical sense. This imagery of stars and captivity suggests a romantic idealization of the beloved, where their presence is so cherished that the singer wants to keep their voice dancing in their head. The repetition of 'bailando en mi cabeza' (dancing in my head) emphasizes the constant presence of the beloved in the singer's thoughts, highlighting the intensity of their emotions.
The song also touches on the theme of acceptance and the passage of time. The lyrics acknowledge that time does not stop and that accepting the current situation is not enough to quell the feelings of missing the beloved. The imagery of the sun dying with the rain further underscores the melancholic tone of the song, suggesting that even moments of beauty are fleeting. The plea to 'déjate seguir' (let yourself be followed) is a heartfelt request for the beloved to allow the singer to remain close, to share their space and dreams, despite the inevitable changes brought by time.
