Sólo Un Paredón

La Vela Puerca's song 'Sólo Un Paredón' delves into the complexities of inner conflict and the journey towards emotional clarity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their own thoughts and feelings, often hiding their true emotions and struggling to find a starting point to address their issues. The opening lines, 'En algún lugar escondí la voz / Para razonar,' suggest a deliberate suppression of one's voice and reasoning, indicating a deep-seated reluctance to confront personal dilemmas.

The recurring metaphor of 'un paredón' (a wall) symbolizes the barriers the protagonist faces within themselves. This wall represents the emotional and psychological obstacles that prevent them from fully understanding or expressing their feelings. The line 'Pero sólo me permito un paredón / Y hoy no le toca a él' implies a selective confrontation with these barriers, choosing not to address them all at once but rather one at a time. This selective approach highlights the difficulty and gradual process of emotional healing and self-discovery.

As the song progresses, there is a shift towards a more hopeful and proactive stance. The protagonist begins to embrace their emotions, as seen in the lines 'Hoy me levanté / A regar mi flor / Y me sonrió.' This act of nurturing a flower symbolizes self-care and the blossoming of new emotional insights. The song concludes with a sense of anticipation and excitement for the future, 'Mañana voy a enloquecer / De alegría y sudor / A golpearme el corazón,' indicating a readiness to face emotions head-on and experience life with renewed vigor and passion.
