Solo Un Desliz

Alejandro Lerner's song 'Solo Un Desliz' delves into the themes of human error and the subsequent journey towards self-awareness and redemption. The lyrics begin with a vivid portrayal of a disastrous situation described metaphorically through undigested, vile bites and a bowl of good intentions mixed with a spoon of filth. This imagery suggests a moment of moral or ethical failure, possibly hinting at a personal mistake that the singer acknowledges but struggles to digest fully.

The chorus, 'Solo un desliz,' which translates to 'Just a slip,' repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that a single mistake can lead to a cascade of confusion and uncertainty. Lerner uses the metaphor of a 'transfusion of confusion' to describe how this slip disrupts his life, suggesting a deep, almost invasive, impact on his mental state and decision-making. The lyrics also explore the consequences of taking the wrong path, as indicated by lines about taking a confusing return and accelerating 'always forward,' only to face the repercussions.

Towards the end of the song, there is a shift towards a resolution or learning phase. The lyrics suggest that despite the mistakes and the chaos they cause, there is a possibility for learning and growth ('You will learn and fly or you will fall'). This message is wrapped in a realistic acknowledgment of the challenges of overcoming personal failures, yet it offers a hopeful outlook on personal growth and the human capacity to recover from missteps.
