Inertes (feat. Tulsa)

Leiva's song 'Inertes,' featuring Tulsa, delves into the delicate and transient nature of human existence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of life's fleeting moments and the inevitable passage of time. The opening lines, 'Los pliegues de tus labios / El alcance de tus faros / El miedo a desaparecer,' set the tone by highlighting the intimate details of a loved one and the underlying fear of fading away. This fear is a recurring theme, emphasizing the uncertainty and impermanence that characterize our lives.

The chorus, 'Tan inertes las hojas sobre nosotros / Nosotros caemos después / Sobre los hombros de otros / Ante los ojos de todos es la primera vez,' uses the metaphor of falling leaves to symbolize human fragility. Just as leaves fall and rest upon one another, so do people rely on each other, creating a chain of support and shared experiences. The phrase 'Ante los ojos de todos es la primera vez' suggests that while these moments may feel unique to us, they are part of a universal human experience.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of life's cyclical nature. Lines like 'Mientras tanto nuestra estela detrás / Sigue dibujando telarañas' evoke the image of a spider weaving its web, symbolizing the intricate and interconnected paths we leave behind. The repetition of 'nuestra sombra detrás / Solo es un amante desgastada' reinforces the idea that our pasts, though worn and tired, continue to shape our present and future. Leiva's poignant lyrics and melancholic melody create a reflective and introspective atmosphere, inviting listeners to contemplate their own existence and the impact they have on others.
