Algo Que Decir

Alejandro Lerner's song 'Algo Que Decir' delves into the existential quest for authenticity and meaningful expression. The lyrics question the value of material possessions, social status, and superficial admiration if they do not contribute to genuine self-expression and inner fulfillment. Lerner challenges the listener to reflect on what truly matters in life, emphasizing that external validation is hollow without a deeper, more meaningful connection to oneself and others.

The song repeatedly asks, 'De que te sirve?' ('What good is it?'), highlighting the futility of various pursuits—wealth, fame, and even substance use—if they do not lead to something new and meaningful to say. This refrain serves as a powerful critique of a society that often prioritizes appearances and external achievements over inner growth and authentic communication. Lerner's call for 'Algo que decir que no sean solo palabras' ('Something to say that is not just words') underscores the importance of sincerity and depth in our interactions and self-expression.

In the chorus, Lerner emphasizes the need for 'Algo que refleje nuestras almas y en tu voz' ('Something that reflects our souls and in your voice'). This line suggests that true fulfillment comes from expressing one's inner self in a way that resonates with others on a profound level. The song encourages listeners to seek out and share their unique perspectives and experiences, fostering a sense of connection and understanding. By urging us to find 'Algo nuevo que te ayude a vivir' ('Something new that helps you live'), Lerner advocates for a life driven by genuine passion and purpose, rather than superficial pursuits.
