Sola

Majo Rivas' song 'Sola' delves into the profound sense of loneliness and disconnection that can persist even when surrounded by people. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels out of sync with the world around them. The opening lines, 'Cada que miro atrás no encuentro a nadie ahí / El tiempo pasa para todos menos para mí,' set the tone for the song, highlighting a sense of isolation and the feeling that time stands still for the narrator while it moves on for everyone else. This sentiment is further emphasized by the recurring theme of feeling different and alone despite external appearances of normalcy and luck.

The chorus, 'Siempre dije: Sé muy fuerte / Pero en realidad no soy así / Todo está normal y yo me siento diferente / Me siento sola entre tanta gente,' reveals a poignant contradiction. The narrator has always told themselves to be strong, yet they acknowledge that this strength is a facade. The repetition of feeling 'diferente' and 'sola entre tanta gente' underscores the internal struggle and the disconnect between how others perceive them and their true emotional state. This dichotomy between external perception and internal reality is a powerful commentary on the often unseen battles people face.

The song also touches on the theme of unresolved past experiences, as seen in the lines, 'Pensando en todas esas cosas que he dejado ir / No puedo soltar sin despedir.' The inability to let go without closure adds another layer to the narrator's sense of being stuck. The question, '¿Dónde fue que me perdí?' reflects a search for self amidst the chaos of life. Majo Rivas uses 'Sola' to explore the complexities of human emotions, particularly the feeling of loneliness that can exist even in the most crowded of places. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt out of place or misunderstood, making it a poignant and relatable piece.
