QUÍTAME LAS ALAS

Humbe's song 'QUÍTAME LAS ALAS' is a powerful anthem of resilience and self-acceptance. The lyrics delve into the artist's struggle against societal doubt and criticism. The recurring line, 'Porque la gente me dice: Tú nunca va' a triunfar' (Because people tell me: You will never succeed), highlights the external negativity that Humbe faces. However, the defiant response, 'Quítame las alas y veme volar' (Take away my wings and watch me fly), serves as a bold declaration of his determination to rise above these challenges. This metaphor of flying without wings symbolizes achieving success despite the odds and limitations imposed by others.

The song also explores themes of vulnerability and transparency. The lines 'Somos tan transparentes debajo del mar / Tan vulnerables ya sin respirar' (We are so transparent under the sea / So vulnerable without breathing) suggest a deep sense of exposure and fragility. This imagery of being underwater, where one is stripped of pretense and left vulnerable, reflects the artist's openness about his struggles and emotions. It underscores the idea that true strength comes from embracing one's vulnerabilities rather than hiding them.

Humbe's lyrics also touch on the concept of self-worth and the impact of external judgment. He acknowledges that people often try to classify and criticize him, but he remains unfazed, stating, 'No tengo nada que pueda perder / Nada que quiera esconder' (I have nothing to lose / Nothing I want to hide). This assertion of self-acceptance and confidence in his identity is a central theme of the song. By sharing his personal testimony and confronting his demons, Humbe invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with doubt and resilience, ultimately encouraging them to embrace their true selves and rise above negativity.
