Tempestad

Macaco's song 'Tempestad' delves into the tumultuous journey of self-discovery and the challenges one faces along the way. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of navigating life's obstacles, symbolized by 'clavos del camino' (nails on the road) and 'repisas' (shelves). The artist describes a journey marked by resilience and a half-smile, suggesting a mix of determination and acceptance of life's hardships. The repetition of 'así como venimos, por el mismo camino fuimos' (just as we came, we left the same way) underscores the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of facing and overcoming challenges.

The 'tempestad' (storm) in the song represents the mental and emotional turmoil that can cloud one's mind. Macaco uses the metaphor of a storm blowing strongly in his head, escaping through his ears, to illustrate the overwhelming nature of these internal struggles. The storm is a personal battle, one that he faces alone, emphasizing the solitary nature of self-reflection and personal growth. The lyrics encourage listeners to confront their true selves, as seen in the line 'no hay mejor verdad que tu reflejo' (there is no better truth than your reflection). This suggests that self-awareness and honesty are crucial in understanding one's desires and direction in life.

The song also touches on the theme of being lost and the importance of recognizing one's own 'piedra' (stone), 'ritmo' (rhythm), and 'benbele' (a term that could be interpreted as one's unique essence or spirit). By acknowledging these personal elements, individuals can navigate their own paths more effectively, even amidst the storms of life. 'Tempestad' ultimately serves as a reminder of the importance of self-awareness, resilience, and the continuous journey of self-discovery.
