Si Te Vas a Luchar
La Plazuela
A Journey Through Inner Battles and Cosmic Dreams
La Plazuela's song "Si Te Vas a Luchar" delves into the complexities of inner struggles and the desire for liberation. The opening lines, "Mil balas tuve pa' matar la guerra en mi salón," suggest a personal battle fought within the confines of one's mind. The mention of being blinded by the television hints at societal influences that cloud judgment and perception. The lyrics express a yearning to experience the end of times, a metaphor for a profound transformation or escape from reality, where the sky and waves symbolize the clash of dreams and reality.
The song continues to explore themes of existential contemplation and mental freedom. The line "Pude nacer sin respirar, me da siempre la madrugá" reflects a sense of being born into a world where one feels out of place, with the early morning hours symbolizing a time of introspection. The protagonist's mind is described as flying freely, different from others, filled with verses that are embraced by the wise and the mad but dismissed by fools. This highlights the value of creativity and wisdom in understanding life's deeper meanings.
The recurring chorus, "Si te vas a luchar, ven con ella, que el polvo estelar de mi estrella," suggests that if one is to fight, they should do so with the essence of their true self, represented by the stardust of their star. The song concludes with a desire to hide away with a loved one, escaping the fears of knowledge and thought. The imagery of lights igniting and hair burning conveys a sense of urgency and intensity, while the idea of becoming a captive and losing attachment signifies a longing for freedom. Ultimately, the protagonist finds solace in dreams, where they can live and die, embracing the ephemeral nature of existence.
