Casi Todo

La Vela Puerca's song "Casi Todo" delves into the intricate balance of life, love, and self-awareness. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a person who is both a grounding force and a seeker of beauty and meaning. The opening lines, "No peleo sin motivos / No doy puntadas sin hilo," suggest a life lived with intention and purpose, where actions are deliberate and meaningful. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which explores the dualities and complexities of existence.

The singer describes themselves as "el remo de tu balsa / No la punta de tu lanza," indicating a supportive role rather than an aggressive one. This metaphor extends to other lines like "Soy un mega de cordura / Entre la ciberlocura," where the singer sees themselves as a beacon of sanity in a world increasingly dominated by digital chaos. The recurring theme of balance is evident, as the singer claims to be a "portador de la balanza," or bearer of the balance, striving to maintain equilibrium in various aspects of life.

The song also touches on the transformative power of love and companionship. The lines "El ocaso de mi día / La razón de mi alegría" highlight the significant impact of a loved one, who brings joy and meaning to the singer's life. The final declaration, "Al final sabés sos casi todo," encapsulates the essence of the song: the realization that love and meaningful connections are almost everything in life. This emotional depth is further emphasized by the imagery of "mirar a los ojos y desatar / El nudo implacable de la soledad," suggesting that true connection can unravel the knots of loneliness.
