Para Afuera

Lia Kali's song 'Para Afuera' is a powerful anthem of self-assertion and defiance against societal expectations and superficial judgments. The lyrics delve into the fear of being forgotten and the struggle to stay true to oneself amidst external pressures. The opening lines, 'El miedo de morir en el olvido / Te aleja de tu propio camino,' highlight the internal conflict between the fear of obscurity and the desire to follow one's own path. This sets the stage for a narrative that challenges the listener to confront their own fears and societal norms.

The song's chorus, 'Que se lleve el aire las deudas / Se avecina tormenta / Todas las fieras fuera,' metaphorically speaks to the cleansing power of a storm, suggesting that it's time to let go of burdens and unleash one's inner strength. The imagery of a storm brewing and the call for all 'fieras' (wild beasts) to come out reflects a sense of impending change and the need to embrace one's true nature, regardless of the consequences. This theme is further emphasized with the lines, 'Hoy no se callarán / Ya se han cansado de llorar,' indicating a refusal to remain silent and a rejection of past sorrows.

Lia Kali also addresses the superficiality of social media and the music industry with lines like, 'No soy de revista, soy artista / Quítate de mi vista si consumes por visitas.' Here, she asserts her identity as an artist over being a mere commodity for consumption. The repeated refrain, 'Nunca lo comprenderán,' underscores the idea that true authenticity and artistic integrity are often misunderstood or undervalued by society. Through 'Para Afuera,' Lia Kali encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and to stand firm against external judgments and expectations.
