Aurora Boreal

Lisandro Aristimuño's 'Aurora Boreal' is a poetic exploration of existential themes, wrapped in a tapestry of vivid imagery and metaphors. The song's title, which translates to 'Northern Lights,' sets the stage for a journey through the ethereal and the ephemeral. Aristimuño's lyrics delve into the transient nature of life, love, and memory, painting a picture of a passenger navigating through the lessons and scars of existence. The 'scrupulous skin full of fire' suggests a life lived intensely, marked by passion and pain.

The song's imagery of a 'carousel of metal' and a 'bullet from the sky' evokes a sense of relentless motion and inevitable fate. The protagonist seems to be caught in a cycle of seeking and losing, as they 'evaporate in the sun' and 'search for sex in the aurora boreal.' This quest for connection and meaning is juxtaposed with a sense of indifference, as the protagonist moves through life with their memories, seemingly detached from the world around them.

Aristimuño's lyrics also touch on themes of disappearance and transformation. The lines 'you will disappear at the edge of the sun' and 'a universe falls, a star and your voice' suggest a merging with the cosmos, a return to the elemental. The song's closing lines, 'contemplate the flower that opens the desert' and 'in a minute more, silence is made,' evoke a sense of fleeting beauty and the quiet that follows the storm. 'Aurora Boreal' is a meditation on the impermanence of life and the search for meaning in a world that is constantly shifting and changing.
