Los Seres Únicos
Love of Lesbian
The Quest for Uniqueness in a Mundane World
Love of Lesbian's song "Los Seres Únicos" delves into the existential struggle of feeling ordinary in a world that seems to celebrate the extraordinary. The lyrics open with a confession of a recurring fever, a metaphor for the protagonist's persistent longing to escape the mundane. The act of undressing people with his eyes through a window symbolizes a desire to understand and perhaps emulate the seemingly better lives of others. This voyeuristic tendency highlights a sense of inadequacy and a yearning for a more vibrant existence.
The chorus, "Dejadme entrar seres únicos, por una vez verme único," translates to "Let me in, unique beings, for once see me as unique." This plea underscores the protagonist's deep-seated desire to be recognized and valued as special. The song critiques societal norms, such as fidelity, which the protagonist views as a relative and joy-killing concept. This perspective suggests a rebellion against conventional expectations and a search for personal freedom and authenticity.
The song also touches on the idea of natural selection, implying that only those who are truly unique or exceptional can thrive. The protagonist feels trapped between different societal groups: those who live, those who try, and those who only dream. This division reflects a broader commentary on human ambition and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The closing lines, "Puede que en realidad seamos únicos," or "Maybe we are truly unique," offer a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the protagonist might find solace in the realization that everyone has their own unique qualities, even if they are not immediately apparent.
