The Flight of Maurice: A Dreamer's Escape

La Fuga's song "Cuando Maurice se va" paints a vivid picture of a character named Maurice, who embodies the spirit of a dreamer and a nonconformist. Maurice is depicted as someone who claims to know how to fly with wings made of paper, a metaphor for his fragile yet hopeful aspirations. He writes to avoid crying over past wounds, indicating a history of pain and a desire to move beyond it. This act of writing serves as a therapeutic outlet, a way to transform sorrow into creativity.

Maurice's life is marked by deception and survival. He works as a con artist, and for him, the usual rules of arithmetic don't apply—suggesting a worldview where conventional logic is subverted. Despite his dubious profession, Maurice excels in the 'school of life,' always achieving top marks. This suggests a certain wisdom and experience that comes from living on the edge, rather than from formal education. Maurice is also described as an old troubadour, constantly moving from one place to another, never settling down, and always evading responsibilities like paying rent.

The song further delves into Maurice's character through his actions and dreams. He leaves bars without paying, invents songs on the spot, and draws himself as a womanizer and dreamer, a partner in pleasure. Maurice's fantasies extend to political aspirations; if he were mayor, he would break the rules, free the thieves, and mandate imagination. He dreams of painting the streets in color, symbolizing a desire to bring vibrancy and creativity to a mundane world. Through Maurice, La Fuga explores themes of escapism, rebellion, and the transformative power of imagination.
