Por Que Sera Que No Me Quiere Dios
Indio Solari
The Lament of Unrequited Existence
The song "Por Que Sera Que No Me Quiere Dios" by Indio Solari, a renowned Argentine rock musician and former lead singer of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, delves into themes of existential angst and the search for self-worth. The lyrics express a deep sense of feeling unloved or unnoticed by a higher power, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling insignificant or rejected in the grand scheme of life. The opening lines set a tone of self-deprecation, suggesting that even the most unattractive creatures are aware of the singer's perceived inferiority. This introduces a narrative of self-doubt and invisibility.
As the song progresses, it explores the concept of dreams and the passage of time. The singer reflects on the ephemeral nature of dreams and the cruel way time mocks him, indicating a struggle with the fleeting nature of life and the desire for meaning. The mention of forgiving his still-mortal skeleton could symbolize coming to terms with his human imperfections and mortality. The recurring image of a lover who no longer cares, yet appears beautiful and mocking, could represent a past relationship or a broader sense of betrayal and abandonment.
The latter part of the song introduces a character, 'el torito chas chas,' who seems to offer a philosophical perspective, suggesting that even in death, humans contribute more to the universe than entire galaxies. This could be an attempt to find solace in the idea that every life has value, despite feelings of worthlessness. Overall, the song grapples with the search for significance in a world that can often seem indifferent, and the struggle to find self-acceptance amidst feelings of rejection and the relentless march of time.
