Somos Nubes Blancas

Elefantes' song 'Somos Nubes Blancas' delves into the transient nature of human existence, using vivid metaphors and poetic imagery to convey its message. The lyrics open with a call to the listener, asking where they keep their dreams and emotions in a world filled with haste and confusion. This sets the stage for a reflection on the fleeting moments of joy and the constant search for peace, symbolized by 'Ciudad Paz.' The song suggests that despite the chaos, it's essential to hold onto one's emotions and dreams, as they guide us through life.

The chorus emphasizes the ephemeral nature of life, comparing humans to waves in the sea and lights that come and go. This metaphor highlights the idea that our existence is temporary and that we are just small parts of a larger, ever-changing world. The repetition of 'sólo eso y nada más' (only that and nothing more) reinforces the simplicity and inevitability of this truth. The song encourages listeners to accept this reality and find beauty in the fleeting moments we experience.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics expand on the idea of human fragility by comparing us to white clouds, stones, flowers, and small candles that can be extinguished by the wind at any moment. This imagery underscores the delicate and transient nature of life. The mention of 'flores blancas,' 'media estrella,' 'sal del Tíbet,' and 'luna llena' adds a mystical and almost spiritual dimension to the song, suggesting that while our time may be brief, it is filled with unique and beautiful experiences. The closing lines, 'Miedo al miedo acostumbrarse. Siete y media. Llego tarde,' reflect the anxiety and rush of modern life, reminding us to cherish the present moment before it slips away.
