Suelo De Canicas

Ella Baila Sola's song 'Suelo De Canicas' is a powerful anthem of resilience and self-reliance. The lyrics convey a journey of personal growth and the ability to overcome life's obstacles. The opening lines express a desire to voice one's truth and the strength to heal from life's wounds. This sets the tone for a narrative about facing and overcoming past traumas and challenges, symbolized by 'viejos recuerdos' (old memories) and 'fantasmas' (ghosts) that haunt the singer. These metaphors suggest that the past, while impactful, does not define the present or future.

The chorus emphasizes the singer's learned resilience, using vivid imagery such as 'un suelo cubierto de canicas' (a floor covered in marbles) and 'un camino de arenas movedizas' (a path of quicksand). These metaphors illustrate the precarious and often treacherous nature of life's journey. Despite these challenges, the singer has learned to navigate them, symbolizing a hard-earned strength and adaptability. The repetition of 'sé curarme las heridas' (I know how to heal my wounds) reinforces the theme of self-sufficiency and personal empowerment.

In the latter part of the song, the singer reflects on their solitary journey and the realization that their means and ends are intrinsically linked to their identity. The imagery of lighting matches to illuminate their path, despite always walking blindly, suggests a continuous struggle for clarity and direction. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the singer's resilience and ability to stand tall despite the difficulties faced. 'Suelo De Canicas' is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to endure and thrive amidst adversity, making it a relatable and inspiring piece for many listeners.
