Señales Luminosas

Gustavo Cerati's 'Señales Luminosas' is a poetic exploration of intimate connection and communication within a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of deep understanding and affection between two people, highlighting the unique ways in which they interact and express their love for one another.

The opening lines depict words climbing and leaping, suggesting a lively and perhaps uncontrollable expression of thoughts and feelings. This imagery of words as almost living entities illustrates the dynamic nature of communication in a close relationship. The mention of a phrase 'let loose' implies a moment of vulnerability or accidental honesty, which can be a profound moment of connection between partners.

The chorus emphasizes a mutual recognition and love that is unparalleled ('te amo como nunca antes amé'), reinforcing the theme of a unique and profound bond. The phrase 'señales luminosas' (luminous signals) metaphorically represents the non-verbal cues and subtle communications that occur between lovers. These signals are like beacons, guiding and informing the relationship. Cerati's lyrics celebrate the beauty of these intimate exchanges and the deep knowledge partners have of each other, which is both comforting ('me recuerdas todo lo que soy') and exhilarating ('si me pavoneo un poco').
