Sal

The song 'Sal' by Libido delves into themes of vulnerability, hope, and the passage of time. The opening lines, 'Tiempo, perdiendo el cabello / Duermo, existo y espero,' reflect a sense of waiting and the inevitable changes that come with time. The imagery of losing hair symbolizes aging and the passage of time, while the act of sleeping and existing suggests a state of inertia or waiting for something significant to happen. The presence of another person, 'Y tu sigues aqui,' indicates a constant in the narrator's life, providing a sense of stability amidst the changes.

As the song progresses, the lyrics 'El frio rompe mi piel / Y mis latidos, donde iran' evoke a sense of physical and emotional coldness, perhaps hinting at feelings of loneliness or isolation. However, the narrator expresses a lack of fear in losing 'suspiros' or sighs, suggesting a readiness to face whatever comes, even if it means enduring pain or loss. This resilience is a key theme in the song, highlighting the narrator's strength in the face of adversity.

The turning point in the song comes with the lines 'Vuelvo, llorando desnudo / Tus manos envuelven mi piel.' Here, the narrator returns, emotionally raw and vulnerable, but finds comfort and happiness in the touch of another person. The imagery of dawn breaking, 'Empieza a amanezer,' symbolizes new beginnings and the potential for a brighter future. The narrator's newfound ability to see 'mil caminos' or a thousand paths represents the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Ultimately, the song conveys a message of hope and the power of dreams, as the narrator feels capable of reaching a long-held dream, 'un sueño que siempre soñe.'
