Siguiendo La Luna

The song "Siguiendo La Luna" by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, a prominent Argentine ska and rock band, is a poetic exploration of longing and introspection set against the backdrop of a nocturnal journey. The lyrics metaphorically use the act of following the moon to represent a pursuit that is captivating but ultimately futile, as the moon is always out of reach. This can be interpreted as a symbol for chasing dreams or desires that may never be fulfilled, or perhaps a love that cannot be attained.

The narrator reflects on things said that now seem nonsensical, indicating a sense of regret or a desire to make amends. The repeated assurances to a loved one, promising change and grand romantic gestures, suggest a relationship in turmoil. The singer's vows to 'bring down the sun' or 'sink into the sea' for their beloved are hyperbolic declarations of love and commitment, emphasizing the depth of their feelings. However, there's also an acknowledgment of past mistakes, perhaps infidelity or lies, as suggested by the lines that equate the wrongdoing to a crime deserving of imprisonment.

The song's melancholic tone is balanced with a sense of hope and the possibility of redemption. The repeated chorus serves as a comforting mantra, trying to reassure and mend the relationship. The music of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs often blends upbeat rhythms with poignant lyrics, and "Siguiendo La Luna" is no exception, capturing the complexity of human emotions and the pain and beauty of love.
