Solaris

Leiva's song 'Solaris' delves into the complexities of personal freedom, loneliness, and the quest for self-understanding. The opening lines, 'Ya sé que no puedo atarme a la vida de nadie / Y que esto me va a costar locura y soledad,' set the tone for a narrative about the struggles of maintaining individuality while facing the inevitable isolation that comes with it. The artist acknowledges the cyclical nature of his thoughts and actions, describing them as a 'bucle interminable,' or an endless loop, which he sometimes resents and blames others for.

The reference to Jules from the TV show 'Euphoria' is particularly telling. Jules is a character who embodies a sense of invincibility and vulnerability, navigating her own complex emotions and relationships. By comparing himself to Jules, Leiva highlights his own feelings of being invincible yet lost in a crowd, suggesting a deep sense of alienation and the search for identity. The repetition of 'Creo que lo empiezo a ver' (I think I'm starting to see it) indicates a gradual realization or awakening, as if he's beginning to understand his own patterns and the reasons behind his solitude.

The song also touches on the nuances of communication and the emotional weight of unspoken words. The lines 'Te escribo mil veces el mismo mensaje / Y vuelvo a cambiar el emoticono del final' illustrate the struggle to convey feelings accurately, often second-guessing oneself. This, coupled with the 'ángulo muerto' (blind spot) and 'exceso de equipaje' (excess baggage), symbolizes the emotional burdens and misunderstandings that complicate relationships. Ultimately, 'Solaris' is a poignant exploration of the internal battles we face in our journey towards self-awareness and the delicate balance between connection and independence.
