El límite

La Frontera's song 'El límite' delves into the themes of nostalgia, friendship, and the moral crossroads that life presents. The lyrics speak to an old friend, reminiscing about a shared past that is now distant, marked by the exploration of forbidden books and the youthful belief that they were impervious to change. The repeated chorus, 'En el límite del bien, en el límite del mal,' which translates to 'On the edge of good, on the edge of evil,' suggests a reflection on the fine line between right and wrong, and the complexities of moral choices.

The song's verses convey a sense of loss and the pain of disillusionment, likening it to a knife piercing the heart. This metaphor emphasizes the depth of emotional turmoil that can accompany the realization that life's idealism often gives way to harsher realities. Despite this, the song holds onto the value of friendship and the hope that it remains untarnished by time and circumstance. The notion of life as a game where one must take risks 'if you want to win' adds an element of daring to the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.

'El límite' also touches on the idea of finding paradise in darkness, suggesting that even in the most challenging times, there is the potential for discovery and fortune. The song ends with a hopeful look towards the future, expressing a desire that if the old friends meet again, their bond will be as strong as it was 'yesterday.' La Frontera, known for their rock and roll style with influences from Spanish folk music, encapsulates a sense of yearning and the bittersweet nature of looking back while standing at life's crossroads.
