Sentémonos
EnSecreto
Finding Stillness in a Fast-Paced World
EnSecreto's song "Sentémonos" is a reflective piece that invites listeners to pause and take a moment to breathe amidst the chaos of life. The repeated refrain, "Sentémonos la vida corre, fumémonos uno que escriba y otro que borre," suggests a need to sit down and relax, perhaps sharing a smoke, while one person writes and another erases. This metaphorical act of writing and erasing represents the process of dealing with life's ongoing challenges and emotional wounds, which are ever-present in the bustling, illuminated cityscape described in the lyrics.
The song delves into the difficulty of starting over, with lines like "Partir de cero, es lo mas difícil." EnSecreto acknowledges that while some may claim it's easy, he finds it challenging. He finds solace in looking at the sky, which makes him feel agile and free rather than imprisoned. The lyrics also touch on personal growth through crises, likening it to a slow metamorphosis, or "crisálida." This transformation is necessary, moving from one astrological age to another, symbolizing a broader, more profound change.
EnSecreto also explores themes of synchronicity and the fleeting nature of life. He expresses a desire for moments of connection and understanding, as life can feel empty and fleeting, like a "botella vacía." The song's melancholic yet hopeful tone encourages valuing happiness and embracing the wind on one's face, a metaphor for feeling alive and present. The lyrics also contrast different lifestyles and aspirations, highlighting the artist's grounded, introspective nature against a backdrop of societal expectations and material pursuits.
"Sentémonos" is a call to mindfulness and introspection, urging listeners to find peace and meaning in the present moment, despite the relentless pace of life and the pressures of modern society.
