Navigating the Darkness: The Wild Journey of 'Como Un Lobo'
Guasones' song 'Como Un Lobo' delves into the themes of fear, chaos, and the thrill of the unknown. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night filled with unsettling noises and eerie voices, creating an atmosphere of terror and confusion. The repeated mention of 'ruidos' (noises) and 'voces' (voices) that 'vomitan su perdón' (vomit their forgiveness) suggests a sense of guilt and regret that haunts the night. This imagery sets the stage for a journey through a metaphorical forest, representing the dark and unpredictable aspects of life.
The chorus, 'Y como un lobo, de medianoche, vamos a recorrer, el bosque a oscuras es una locura, ya vas a ver,' translates to 'And like a wolf, at midnight, we will roam, the forest in the dark is madness, you will see.' This metaphor of the wolf symbolizes a fearless and wild spirit, ready to face the madness of the dark forest. The forest, in this context, can be seen as a representation of life's challenges and uncertainties. The wolf's journey through the forest at night signifies a bold confrontation with these fears and the unknown.
The song also touches on the idea of finding joy and liberation amidst chaos. The lines 'dejan locura divina, vamos a bailar' (they leave divine madness, let's dance) suggest that there is a certain beauty and freedom in embracing the madness. The act of dancing becomes a metaphor for living fully and fearlessly, despite the surrounding darkness. Guasones, known for their rock and roll style, infuse this song with a raw and energetic vibe, encouraging listeners to face their fears head-on and find their own path through the darkness.
