Peces En El Mar

Las Ligas Menores' song 'Peces En El Mar' delves into the emotional turmoil of facing failure and the fear of judgment. The lyrics poignantly ask, '¿Si me vuelvo a equivocar qué va a pasar?' ('If I make a mistake again, what will happen?'), reflecting a deep-seated anxiety about the consequences of repeated failures. This question is not just about personal disappointment but also about societal expectations and the fear of being reprimanded or judged by others. The repetition of this line underscores the cyclical nature of these worries, suggesting that the fear of failure is a persistent and recurring theme in the narrator's life.

The song further explores the internal conflict of trying again despite the fear of failure. The lines 'Si lo vuelvo a intentar y sale mal / No voy a mentir / Me voy a defraudar' ('If I try again and it goes wrong / I won't lie / I will disappoint myself') highlight the personal stakes involved. Here, the fear of self-disappointment is as significant as the fear of external judgment. This introspective look at the emotional cost of failure adds depth to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has ever struggled with self-doubt and the pressure to succeed.

The imagery of 'viendo peces en el mar' ('watching fish in the sea') serves as a metaphor for escapism and detachment. When the narrator doubts their ability to succeed, they envision themselves far away, observing the tranquil and indifferent world of the sea. This metaphor suggests a desire to retreat from the pressures and expectations of life, finding solace in a place where their failures and doubts are insignificant. The repetitive 'ah ah' in the chorus adds a haunting, almost meditative quality to the song, emphasizing the cyclical nature of these thoughts and the longing for peace and detachment.
