Embracing the Chaos: A Night of Uncertainty in 'Cada Vez'
Los Caligaris' song 'Cada Vez' captures the essence of a night that starts off like any other but quickly descends into a whirlwind of unpredictability and excitement. The lyrics describe a gathering that begins with a familiar ritual of celebration, but as the night progresses, the boundaries between fantasy and reality blur. The singer finds themselves in a state where normality fades, and the lines between right and wrong become indistinguishable. This descent into chaos is not met with fear or resistance but rather with a sense of liberation and enjoyment.
The chorus, with its repetitive 'Ay ay ay ay,' emphasizes the singer's growing confusion and simultaneous pleasure. The phrase 'cada vez entiendo menos que me pasa y cada vez me gusta más' (each time I understand less what is happening to me, and each time I like it more) encapsulates the paradoxical nature of the experience. The singer is caught in a state of being 'possessed by an unknown force,' likened to a marionette in a sea of uncertainty, yet this loss of control is exhilarating rather than terrifying.
The imagery of 'your rock and an accordion in the wind' and the declaration 'if this is hell, I want to stay' further illustrate the allure of this chaotic night. The song suggests that sometimes, letting go of the need to understand or control everything can lead to unexpected joy. It celebrates the beauty of surrendering to the moment and finding pleasure in the unknown, making 'Cada Vez' a tribute to the unpredictable and the spontaneous moments that make life thrilling.
