Algún Día (Alicia)

Hello Seahorse!'s song 'Algún Día (Alicia)' delves into the themes of mortality, presence, and longing. The lyrics open with a stark acknowledgment of the inevitability of death: 'Algún día me voy a morir, mientras tanto estoy aquí' (Someday I will die, meanwhile, I am here). This line sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment despite the certainty of death. The imagery of waves breaking against the shore ('Rompe olas contra mí, soy tierra firme ven a mí') suggests resilience and stability, portraying the narrator as a steadfast presence amidst life's tumultuous events.

The repeated plea for Alicia to return ('Alicia vuelve, Alicia vuelve y no te alejes de mí') introduces a personal element of longing and desire for connection. Alicia's absence is deeply felt, and the narrator's call for her return underscores a sense of incompleteness and yearning. The line 'No creas que no puedo fingir, un blanco fácil de teñir' (Don't think I can't pretend, an easy target to dye) hints at vulnerability and the facade one might put up to cope with emotional pain. This vulnerability is further explored with the admission that it is honest to feel this way and to love someone even if they might leave ('Oh, es honesto sentirse así, amarse aunque se vaya a ir').
