Blanco Azul

Los Enanitos Verdes' song 'Blanco Azul' delves into the complexities and dualities of human existence. The lyrics juxtapose contrasting elements such as 'blanco, azul; hombre, mujer' (white, blue; man, woman) and 'noche y día, oscuridad' (night and day, darkness). These contrasts highlight the inherent dualities in life, suggesting that absolutes are rare and that most of life exists in a nuanced, intermediate state. The line 'hay un rendija en el medio del cielo' (there's a crack in the middle of the sky) poetically implies that even in the vastness of the sky, there are imperfections and spaces in between, symbolizing the gray areas in our lives.

The song also explores themes of identity and self-reflection. The imagery of walking through hotel corridors 'como un fantasma' (like a ghost) searching for something to eat suggests a sense of aimlessness and disconnection. This is further emphasized by the mention of a 'traje de yuppie' (yuppie suit), which symbolizes societal expectations and materialism that ultimately fail to provide true fulfillment. The lyrics question the choices made in life, pondering '¿Qué es lo que yo habré hecho mal?' (What did I do wrong?) and acknowledging that 'somos lo que hicimos de nosotros mismos' (we are what we made of ourselves), yet also recognizing the potential for change.

The song's reflective nature is encapsulated in the lines 'Parado en la mitad, mirando la ciudad' (Standing in the middle, looking at the city), where the narrator contemplates their actions and their impact on themselves and others. This introspection leads to a poignant realization of possibly having 'olvidé o me perdí la vida' (forgotten or lost life). 'Blanco Azul' ultimately serves as a meditation on the balance between opposing forces, the search for meaning, and the possibility of transformation amidst life's uncertainties.
