Creyendo Historias

Los Impostors' song 'Creyendo Historias' delves into the complex interplay between faith, identity, and existential despair. The lyrics open with a sense of confusion and a search for meaning, as the narrator admits, 'Aquí estoy no sé qué decir igual que tu!' This line sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting a shared sense of uncertainty and vulnerability. The mention of a punitive God who disapproves of the narrator's attitude adds a layer of spiritual conflict, suggesting a struggle with religious expectations and personal beliefs.

The recurring theme of searching and not finding, 'Me perdí te busqué y no te encontré,' underscores a profound sense of loss and disillusionment. The narrator's plea for a response, 'Responde solo quedas tú,' indicates a desperate need for guidance or validation, which remains unfulfilled. This sense of abandonment is further emphasized by the line, 'Avientamé debajo de un autobus,' a metaphor for feeling discarded or worthless.

As the song progresses, the narrator's resignation becomes more apparent. The repeated phrase 'No sirve de nada' reflects a deep-seated nihilism, suggesting that efforts to find meaning or redemption are futile. The imagery of being 'tirado de rodillas' conveys a sense of surrender and helplessness. The final verses reveal a poignant acceptance of this despair, as the narrator offers their soul but acknowledges that even this gesture is insufficient. The song concludes with an apology for not returning, encapsulating the narrator's internal turmoil and unresolved quest for meaning.
