Sólo Luz

In 'Sólo Luz,' Funambulista delves into the ephemeral and often confusing nature of love and existence. The song opens with the line 'Somos sólo luz,' which translates to 'We are only light,' suggesting a transient and intangible quality to the human experience. The lyrics describe two individuals who are struggling to find their way, referring to themselves as 'two cowards' and 'two idiots' who don't know how to make the most of the life they have left. This self-deprecating language underscores a sense of helplessness and uncertainty that permeates the song.

The recurring imagery of almost drowning and embracing without faith ('Nos abrazamos sin tenernos fe') highlights the precariousness of their situation. They are depicted as being overwhelmed by their circumstances, unable to find solid ground ('No hicimos pie'). The song also touches on the remnants of a love that hasn't completely ended, with references to 'mud and humidity' and 'a photo with silly faces,' symbolizing the lingering mess and unresolved emotions. The 'pressure against the chest and wings' further emphasizes the emotional burden they carry.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that these characters are resigned to their fate, acknowledging that they are merely 'characters who will leave the scene.' The repeated assertion that they are 'only light' serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and love. The song captures the essence of human vulnerability and the struggle to find meaning and stability in a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain.
