Fuerzas

Jeites' song 'Fuerzas' delves into the tumultuous experience of navigating inner and outer chaos while seeking peace and understanding. The lyrics open with a vivid description of an uncontrollable force invading the singer's being, leading to a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. This force symbolizes the unpredictable nature of life and the overwhelming feelings that can accompany it. The mention of music as a constant presence ('La música de ayer y de hoy sos vos') suggests that music serves as a grounding force, a source of stability amidst the chaos.

The song then shifts to a more introspective tone, urging the listener to awaken to life ('Tenés que desperar... A la vida!'). This call to action is accompanied by a sense of uncertainty about the future ('Y no sé si volveré, yo no sé lo que será'), yet there is a desire to leave a lasting impact through their voice and music. The lyrics reflect a quest for well-being and a rejection of negativity, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself and finding solace in personal expression.

As the song progresses, it addresses the pervasive violence and intolerance in society ('Pero hay violencia en la calle... ¿Quién te enseñó a odiarme?'). This societal critique highlights the destructive nature of hatred and the need for empathy and understanding. The repeated questioning of who taught us to hate underscores the learned nature of intolerance and the possibility of unlearning it. The song concludes with a hopeful note, suggesting that by looking within and finding connection in the smiles of others, there is potential for positive change in the world ('Te encontraré en la sonrisa de la gente... Y así tal vez el mundo cambie').

'Fuerzas' by Jeites is a powerful exploration of the internal and external struggles we face, and a call to find strength and peace within ourselves. It encourages introspection, empathy, and the transformative power of love and music.
