VEINTITRÉS

Madiel Lara's song 'VEINTITRÉS' is a powerful testament to faith, resilience, and gratitude. The lyrics are a heartfelt expression of thanks to God for the artist's well-being and the strength to overcome adversity. Lara repeatedly emphasizes his gratitude, stating 'Gracias a Dios, estoy bien' (Thank God, I am well), which sets the tone for the entire song. This phrase is not just a statement of his current state but a declaration of his faith and reliance on a higher power.

The song delves into the challenges Lara has faced, including negative comments and criticism on social media. Despite these obstacles, he remains steadfast, attributing his strength and success to his faith in God. The line 'Cristo es mi sostén' (Christ is my support) highlights his belief that his resilience is not self-derived but a result of divine support. This theme is further reinforced with 'No fui yo quien quiso, fue Dios si preguntan quién' (It wasn't me who wanted, it was God if they ask who), indicating that his journey and achievements are guided by a higher purpose.

Lara also touches on the superficiality of social media fame and the importance of genuine progress and hard work. He contrasts the virtual world's illusion of success with the real-world effort required to achieve it, as seen in 'Sé que no hay progreso sin trabajar' (I know there is no progress without working). The song concludes with a reaffirmation of his faith and determination, 'Gracias a Dios yo estoy aquí, aunque el camino sea difícil, yo confío en Jehová nissi' (Thank God I am here, even though the road is difficult, I trust in Jehovah Nissi). This closing line encapsulates the essence of the song: unwavering faith and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
