Marea gora

K.O.M.A.'s song 'Marea gora' delves into the ebb and flow of life's experiences, using the metaphor of the tide to illustrate the highs and lows we all encounter. The lyrics, written in Basque, paint a vivid picture of moments of excitement and adventure, contrasted with periods of calm and reflection. The recurring phrase 'Marea gora .... marea behera' (High tide .... low tide) serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of these experiences.

The song opens with a reference to a romantic encounter, describing the protagonist as a 'victim of romance' and hinting at the fleeting nature of such moments. The mention of 'ero-litroak garagardoz' (crazy liters of beer) and 'ileak horitzen zaigun' (our hair turning yellow) suggests a carefree, youthful spirit, embracing the spontaneity and thrill of the night. This sets the stage for the adventures and misadventures that follow, as the night unfolds in a series of highs and lows.

As the night progresses, the lyrics describe the scene in a bar, 'musikaz blai' (soaked in music), capturing the essence of a night out with friends. The imagery of 'autobide honen bukaeran' (at the end of this highway) and 'ilunaren uhinak berriz jetsiko dira igotzeko bihar gauez' (the waves of darkness will descend again to rise tomorrow night) reinforces the idea that life is a continuous cycle of ups and downs. The song's repetitive structure and the use of the tide metaphor emphasize the inevitability of these changes, encouraging listeners to embrace both the highs and the lows as part of the human experience.
