Otra Vida

In 'Otra Vida' by Furia Animal, the lyrics delve into the complex emotions of encountering a past love and the yearning for a different life that could have been. The song opens with the protagonist expressing surprise at seeing their former lover again, indicating a sense of unresolved feelings and unfinished business. The line 'No me queda aliento, ya voy para atras' suggests a feeling of being overwhelmed and perhaps even regressing emotionally upon this unexpected reunion.

The chorus reveals a deep longing for what could have been, with the protagonist wishing that their former lover had shared their way of feeling. The phrase 'Juraria que por ti, otra vida empezaria' translates to 'I would swear that for you, I would start another life,' highlighting the depth of their emotional investment and the willingness to begin anew if given the chance. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of being dragged to sail the skies and seas, symbolizing a desire for adventure and a fresh start with their beloved.

As the song progresses, the protagonist grapples with feelings of entrapment and salvation. The lines 'Me siento atrapado, si tu amor' and 'Los sueños me salvan, si no estas' convey a sense of being trapped without their lover's affection, yet finding solace in dreams when they are absent. The juxtaposition of feeling dead inside without their lover's touch and finding life in the nights spent alone underscores the profound impact this relationship has had on their emotional well-being. 'Otra Vida' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope for a second chance at happiness.
