Dreams and Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Lisandro Aristimuño's song "Cerrar los ojos" delves into themes of despair, resilience, and the power of dreams. The opening lines express a deep sense of sorrow and helplessness, as the narrator laments not being able to see someone and metaphorically speaks of removing the noose from death. This imagery suggests a struggle against an inevitable fate, highlighting the cruelty and irrationality of life's hardships. The mention of people living alone and bound to a cruel destiny further emphasizes the isolation and despair that many experience.

Despite the bleakness, the song carries a message of hope and perseverance. Aristimuño sings about continuing to believe in dreams and the idea that days are not owned by anyone, implying that there is always room for change and new beginnings. The repeated line, "Cerrar los ojos es perder" (Closing your eyes is losing), serves as a powerful reminder to stay awake and aware, to face challenges head-on rather than succumbing to defeat. This line encapsulates the song's central theme of resilience and the importance of maintaining hope and vision, even in the darkest times.

The song concludes with a call for revolution, a desire for change and a better future. The coldness of the night and the nameless pain reflect the ongoing struggles, but the mention of the sky and the revolution suggests a yearning for freedom and transformation. Aristimuño's poetic lyrics and emotive delivery create a poignant and inspiring narrative that resonates with listeners, encouraging them to hold on to their dreams and fight for a better tomorrow.
