Lejos

In 'Lejos,' La Zimbabwe delves into the depths of longing and the emotional journey of missing someone deeply. The song opens with the poignant admission of missing someone more than the singer could ever give them, setting a tone of regret and yearning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of dreaming about the person's skin and the futile attempts to change the unchangeable reality. The metaphor of flying without direction symbolizes the aimlessness and despair that often accompany unfulfilled love, culminating in the haunting phrase 'condenado a morir de amor' (condemned to die of love).

The recurring theme of distance is emphasized through the repeated line 'Salí a caminar y te encontré lejos, lejos' (I went out for a walk and found you far, far away). This not only highlights the physical separation but also the emotional chasm that the singer feels. Despite this distance, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer believes in a place deep within where they can find solace and perhaps rekindle the lost connection. The imagery of searching for the 'key to your heart' in the vast sea underscores the arduous and uncertain nature of this quest.

The song also touches on themes of faith and redemption. The singer expresses a desire to restore the other person's faith and make them believe once more in what they have to offer. This is encapsulated in the promise to not rest until the other person can see and believe again. The emotional climax is reached with the metaphor of a bullet to the heart, signifying the pain of separation, yet the resolve to return and fulfill a promise provides a hopeful resolution. 'Lejos' is a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope that bridges the gap between hearts separated by distance.
