Alfabeto

Gepe's song 'Alfabeto' is a poetic exploration of searching for meaning and direction in life. The lyrics are filled with questions and uncertainties, reflecting a journey of self-discovery and the desire to find one's place in the world. The repeated questioning of '¿dónde está?' and '¿a dónde es?' suggests a deep sense of longing and confusion, as the narrator seeks something elusive and undefined. This search is not just physical but also metaphorical, representing the quest for personal fulfillment and understanding.

The night serves as a significant backdrop in the song, symbolizing both mystery and possibility. The phrase 'Esta noche está, donde tendría que' implies that the night holds the answers or the destination the narrator is looking for. The night is a time for introspection and revelation, where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur. The idea of 'aparecer' (to appear) and 'repetir' (to repeat) suggests a cyclical nature to this search, where each night brings new opportunities for discovery and self-realization.

Gepe's musical style, often characterized by its blend of folk and electronic elements, complements the introspective and ethereal nature of the lyrics. The song's rhythm and melody create a sense of movement and progression, mirroring the journey described in the lyrics. The use of simple, repetitive phrases like 'Un, dos, tres' and 'Te sigo a donde estés' emphasizes the ongoing nature of this quest and the importance of companionship and connection in navigating life's uncertainties. 'Alfabeto' ultimately captures the universal human experience of searching for meaning and the hope that, with each step, we come closer to finding our place in the world.
