Paraiso

La Ley's song 'Paraiso' delves into the complexities of seeking paradise and the moral ambiguities that come with it. The lyrics suggest that reaching paradise comes at a significant cost, both morally and spiritually. The phrase 'Del paraíso un dia mas' (One more day in paradise) implies that each day in this utopia requires a price to be paid, hinting at the sacrifices and compromises one must make. The song questions the authenticity of those who seek to appear virtuous ('Santo falso quiera ser') and highlights the chaos that can be masked by a facade of righteousness.

The recurring themes of 'pasión, traición, poder' (passion, betrayal, power) underscore the tumultuous journey towards paradise. The line '¿Quien manda si no hay ley?' (Who rules if there is no law?) questions the very foundation of authority and governance in a lawless realm, suggesting a world where moral and ethical boundaries are blurred. The imagery of taking the devil hostage and burning a pact signed blindly ('Y tome al diablo de rehén / Y queme el pacto que firmo sin ver') symbolizes a rebellion against the forces that bind us to our darker impulses.

The chorus, 'En la luz del universo / No da sombra lo perverso' (In the light of the universe / The perverse casts no shadow), offers a glimmer of hope. It suggests that in the grand scheme of the universe, evil and perversion are ultimately insignificant and powerless. This duality of light and darkness, good and evil, is a central theme in the song, reflecting the band's exploration of existential and philosophical questions. La Ley, known for their introspective and often dark lyrical content, uses 'Paraiso' to challenge listeners to reflect on the true cost of their desires and the nature of their moral compass.
