Pulsar

Gustavo Cerati's song 'Pulsar' is a poetic exploration of the human condition, touching on themes of love, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life. The lyrics suggest a journey towards redemption, with the pulsing light serving as a metaphor for the persistent and dynamic force of life itself. Cerati's belief in love as a driving force is evident, as he describes it as something that leaves him perpetually unsatisfied, hinting at the idea that love is both a motivator and an elusive goal.

The song's chorus, 'Allí donde quisiste estar, Tan cerca de desesperar,' which translates to 'There where you wanted to be, So close to despair,' reflects the thin line between achieving one's desires and the brink of giving up. Cerati's reference to life as gas that is sweet to transcend suggests a transcendental view of existence, where the act of living is both fleeting and beautiful. The breath of a loved one is equated to his own survival, indicating a deep connection that goes beyond the physical.

Cerati concludes with a reaffirmation of his journey towards redemption, acknowledging human confusion as a natural inclination. He expresses a willingness to forgive everything with his 'wild heart,' emphasizing that vices are not of the body, perhaps suggesting that our flaws and mistakes are not inherent to our physical being but rather to our human nature. The song ends on a note of certainty, possibly indicating that the artist has found some form of peace or understanding in his quest.
