Soltar

Ismael Serrano's song 'Soltar' delves into the complex emotions surrounding change, letting go, and the passage of time. The lyrics reflect on the inherent difficulty of making choices, as each decision involves a form of renunciation. The metaphor of a 'polar star' and a 'lighthouse still lit' suggests guidance and hope, even when one abandons a familiar path. This imagery evokes a sense of navigating through life's uncertainties with a beacon of light to follow, symbolizing hope and direction amidst change.

The song poignantly addresses the pain of saying goodbye and the realization that sometimes, learning to let go comes too late. Serrano challenges the notion that leaving is an act of cowardice, suggesting instead that it can be a brave and necessary step. The line 'Today no one will die of love' underscores a modern perspective on love and separation, where moving on is not seen as a failure but as a part of life's journey. The repeated refrain 'And now let go, let's fly high' emphasizes the liberation and growth that come from releasing the past.

Serrano's lyrics also touch on the transformative power of time and experience. The acknowledgment that 'I am not the same and it's not bad' speaks to personal growth and the acceptance of change. The imagery of a storm turning everything upside down in their home symbolizes the upheavals that life brings, yet it is simply 'life' happening. The song concludes with a sense of peace and acceptance, celebrating the happiness found in past moments, even if they were fleeting. 'Soltar' ultimately conveys a message of resilience, the beauty of transient experiences, and the strength found in moving forward.
