Esta Saliendo El Sol
Intoxicados
Embracing the Dawn of Enlightenment
The song "Esta Saliendo El Sol" by Intoxicados, an Argentine rock band, is a poetic reflection on the search for guidance and the struggle between darkness and light within one's life. The lyrics personify the sun as a deity, a source of wisdom and blessing that the narrator feels unworthy to learn from due to being under the influence of the moon—a metaphor for the night and possibly the darker aspects of life, such as vice or depression.
The repeated phrase 'Ya esta saliendo el sol' (The sun is already rising) symbolizes hope and renewal. Despite the narrator's exhaustion and the temptation to succumb to weariness ('Y tenga ganas de desmayarme en la cama'), there is a conscious decision to welcome the sun's blessing. This act of receiving the sun's light can be seen as a metaphor for embracing positivity and the potential for personal growth.
The song also contains a prayer-like verse, 'Padre sol nuestro que estas en los cielos' (Our Father Sun who art in heaven), which further emphasizes the spiritual connection the narrator seeks with the sun. The plea for guidance and the request for the sun to never stop shining suggest a desire for constant support and enlightenment. The sun's light is equated with daily sustenance, a necessity for well-being, especially during times of hardship.
