Escapar

Gazpacho's song 'Escapar' delves into the profound and often unsettling journey of self-discovery and the inevitability of facing one's inner truths. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is tired of waiting for something undefined, feeling the constant flux of life and the transformations that come with it. This sense of perpetual change is highlighted by the lines 'especies se transforman' and 'todo fluye, todo corre,' suggesting that everything is in a state of motion and evolution, including the self.

The song speaks to the idea that destiny holds everything that belongs to us, and the only thing that can truly stop us is ourselves. This is encapsulated in the lines 'ver que nada nos detiene mas que uno mismo,' emphasizing the internal barriers we often create. The lyrics also touch on the futility of seeking answers externally when the real answers lie within, as seen in 'seguir encerrado buscando respuestas, pasando por alto lo que muestra el hoy.' This suggests a need to be present and aware of the current moment rather than being trapped in a cycle of endless questioning.

The recurring theme of 'escapar de uno mismo' (escaping from oneself) underscores the central message of the song. It reflects the struggle of trying to run away from one's own thoughts, emotions, and truths, only to realize that they are always there, close and inescapable. The imagery of seeing the sunrise, the horizon, and something growing without naming it, symbolizes the beauty and potential of life that can be missed if one is too focused on escaping their inner self. Gazpacho's 'Escapar' is a poignant reminder that true freedom comes from embracing and understanding oneself, rather than trying to flee from it.
