Etrusco Único

José Madero's song 'Etrusco Único' delves into the themes of time, change, and the loss of passion. The lyrics open with a sense of urgency, urging to 'písale al pedal' (step on the pedal) to reach a destination faster. This metaphorical journey represents a desire to reach a higher state or a different realm, where the 'más allá' (beyond) awaits. The imagery of the sky as a staircase and stars as a home suggests a longing for transcendence and a place where dreams and aspirations reside.

As the song progresses, it reflects on the passage of time and its effects. The once magical and grandiose experiences have become memories, and the heart that was once intact has been changed by time. The lyrics 'El tiempo fue veloz, se fue de nuestras manos' (Time was swift, it slipped from our hands) capture the fleeting nature of time and how it alters everything, including relationships and personal passions. The mention of gravity stealing from the 'templo que solía adorar' (temple I used to worship) symbolizes the inevitable decline and the loss of youthful vigor and enthusiasm.

The repeated lines 'El ardor se esfumó, yo también lo extraño' (The passion faded, I miss it too) emphasize the longing for the lost fervor and the pain of its absence. This repetition underscores the emotional weight of nostalgia and the struggle to come to terms with the changes brought by time. José Madero's reflective lyrics and melancholic tone invite listeners to ponder their own experiences with time, change, and the bittersweet nature of memories.
