De Hacerse, Se Va A Hacer

Los Tres, a renowned Chilean rock band, often infuses their music with profound and poetic lyrics, and 'De Hacerse, Se Va A Hacer' is no exception. The song's title, which translates to 'If It's Going to Be Done, It Will Be Done,' sets the tone for a contemplative exploration of life's inevitable challenges and ceremonies. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery, painting a vivid picture of the human experience.

The opening lines, 'De hacerse, se va a hacer / La corona corona de espinas,' evoke the image of a crown of thorns, symbolizing suffering and sacrifice. This biblical reference suggests that pain and hardship are intrinsic parts of life. The following line, 'De caerse se va a caer / El planeta es ceremonia,' implies that despite the world's chaos and the inevitability of failure, life itself is a grand ceremony, a series of events that must be experienced and endured.

The song continues with 'Silencio en las bancas / las formas trabajan / abiertas las pupilas / Un cielo que remata,' which can be interpreted as a call to observe and reflect. The silence in the pews and the open pupils suggest a moment of introspection, while the sky that 'remata' or concludes, hints at the finality of life and the importance of seizing the moment. The recurring theme of observation and reflection is further emphasized in the lines 'De verse, se van a ver / tormenta en las pestañas / vueltas siniestras / al anochecer,' where the storm in the eyelashes and sinister turns at dusk symbolize the emotional and psychological turmoil that one faces.

The song also touches on the mundane aspects of life, such as 'Saludo de baratas / informe en planta baja / difícil preparar / una dieta en el alma,' highlighting the struggle to find spiritual nourishment amidst the trivialities of daily existence. The concluding lines, 'De hacerse, se va a hacer / una cúspide en las sombras / De subirse se va a subir / de escala en la estrofa,' suggest that despite the darkness and challenges, there is always a peak to be reached, a higher note to be sung. This metaphor of climbing a scale in a stanza encapsulates the idea of striving for growth and transcendence through life's poetic journey.
