Blue

Lisandro Aristimuño's song 'Blue' delves into the complex emotions of separation and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has distanced themselves from a loved one, grappling with the pain and confusion that comes with it. The opening lines, 'De vos desprendí y así me fui,' suggest a deliberate departure, yet the lack of a clear purpose ('sin ningún fin') hints at an underlying uncertainty and aimlessness. This sets the stage for a journey marked by emotional turbulence and introspection.

The recurring theme of not being able to see or be close to the loved one ('Me molesta no verte y decirte lo que es no tenerte tan cerca') underscores the deep sense of loss and yearning. The use of natural elements like air, water, and wine ('si es el aire o el agua tan fresca') adds a layer of poetic ambiguity, reflecting the narrator's struggle to find clarity and meaning in their separation. The metaphor of 'Blue' rolling and healing wounds from a past April suggests that time and distance might offer some solace, but the scars of past experiences remain.

The song also touches on the cyclical nature of giving and receiving in relationships ('Lo que te di se vuelve hacia mí'). This line encapsulates the idea that the emotions and efforts invested in a relationship often come back to affect us, for better or worse. The closing lines, 'música para mi, no dejaré ya descansar mis pies,' imply that the narrator finds solace in music and movement, refusing to remain stagnant despite the emotional weight they carry. Aristimuño's poetic lyrics and evocative imagery make 'Blue' a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the healing process.
