Por Que?
Fluido
Navigating the Unexplainable: A Journey Through Loss and Memory
Fluido's song 'Por Que?' delves into the complex emotions surrounding loss and the lingering presence of a loved one. The lyrics open with the imagery of a voice and a cross fading away, yet leaving behind a 'strange sensation' that nothing is ever truly gone. This sets the tone for a song that grapples with the paradox of absence and presence, where the memory of a loved one continues to manifest in everyday moments, such as the morning sun and light, confusing reason with something inexplicable.
The chorus reveals the singer's struggle with dreaming of the lost loved one and the disorienting reality upon waking. The act of dreaming, which seems effortless, becomes a painful reminder of the absence, leading to a sense of confusion and a search for understanding. The repetition of 'cómo ni por qué' (how or why) underscores the singer's quest for answers in the face of an unfathomable loss.
As the song progresses, it emphasizes the difficulty of coming to terms with this loss. The lyrics suggest that it's not just a matter of asking a question or stopping everything to process the shock. Instead, it's a deeper, more complex journey that involves navigating through confusion and disbelief. The final lines offer a glimmer of hope, suggesting that time will eventually provide the answers to 'cómo y por qué' (how and why), and that the singer is willing to bet against the finality of the end, believing in the possibility of understanding and reconciliation with the past.
