Realidad Virtual

Lörihen's song 'Realidad Virtual' delves into the existential struggle of finding one's place in a world that often feels like a virtual reality. The lyrics express a deep sense of desperation and longing, as the protagonist grapples with the absence of a significant other. The line 'Soy quien desespera si no estás' sets the tone for the emotional turmoil that follows. This sense of despair is compounded by the metaphor of living 'al borde del abismo,' or on the edge of an abyss, suggesting a precarious existence where one wrong move could lead to a catastrophic fall.

The song also explores the concept of truth and the fear of the unknown. The lyrics 'Sabe el hombre que es peor malo por conocer que encontrar una verdad' reflect a common human fear: the dread of discovering an unpleasant truth. This is juxtaposed with the idea that it is better to face reality, even if it is harsh, than to live in ignorance. The struggle for authenticity is further highlighted by the lines 'ser, estar y parecer a morir en el intento,' which suggest that being, existing, and appearing are all fraught with challenges that could lead to failure.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics 'Si el destino estaba escrito, al empezar, buscaré la forma de cambiar y adelantarme' reveal a defiant spirit. Despite feeling trapped in a predetermined fate, the protagonist is determined to find a way to change their destiny. This sense of agency and the quest for self-determination are powerful themes that resonate deeply. The final lines, 'Nunca comprendí si fue este mi lugar, ahogado en fuego intento respirar,' encapsulate the ongoing struggle to find one's place in a world that often feels suffocating and overwhelming.
