Entre Libros

Fran Busso's 'Entre Libros' is a poetic exploration of thoughts, dreams, and the passage of time. The song opens with the imagery of thoughts being cast into the air, akin to a baker's flour being blown by the wind. This metaphor suggests the ephemeral and transient nature of our ideas, which can be scattered and reshaped by external forces. The mention of 'lines, garabatos materos' (lines, mate scribbles) and 'reading the scream that a story silenced' evokes a sense of introspection and the unearthing of hidden truths within the pages of books.

The second verse introduces the concept of ideas as 'three yellow flowers in green seas of great agitation.' This vivid imagery symbolizes the potential and vibrancy of thoughts amidst chaos. The reference to 'baobabs in your land' further emphasizes the strength and resilience of these ideas, capable of causing significant change in their environment. The baobab tree, known for its longevity and ability to thrive in harsh conditions, serves as a powerful metaphor for enduring and impactful ideas.

As the song progresses, it speaks of waiting for the right moment to take action, nurturing a river, and softening the rhythms of the heart. This suggests a period of preparation and growth before making a significant impact. The final verse paints a picture of leisurely moments by the river, wild fights in one's room, and cigarettes that consume forgetfulness, all under the sun. These scenes reflect the everyday struggles and joys, the balance between contemplation and action, and the pursuit of dreams amidst the mundane aspects of life.
