Vuelvo a Casa
La Beriso
Finding Solace in Rock: A Journey Back Home
La Beriso's song 'Vuelvo a Casa' is a heartfelt exploration of nostalgia, personal freedom, and the solace found in music. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist walking through the familiar streets of his neighborhood, reflecting on how everything remains unchanged. This sense of familiarity is both comforting and melancholic, as it brings back memories of past experiences and friendships. The repetition of the phrase 'Todo esta igual que ayer' (Everything is the same as yesterday) underscores the static nature of his surroundings, contrasting with his internal journey.
The protagonist's return home 'tarde, con olor a rock' (late, smelling of rock) signifies a night spent immersed in the music scene, which now holds more significance for him than a past romantic relationship. The line 'ya no me importa si ella nunca mas me quiere dar su amor' (I don't care if she never wants to give me her love again) highlights a shift in priorities. The protagonist finds fulfillment and identity in rock music, which provides a sense of belonging and emotional release that his former lover could not understand.
The search for companionship and the camaraderie found in shared musical experiences are central themes in the song. The protagonist's quest for a friend to 'beber algo, para rockearnos algo' (drink something, to rock out) reflects a desire for connection and the joy of shared passions. The song captures the essence of finding one's place in the world through music and the enduring bonds formed within that community. 'Vuelvo a Casa' is a celebration of the power of rock music to heal, unite, and provide a sense of home, even when everything else seems unchanged.
