Todo Se Queda
Marceline
The Ever-Changing Constancy of Life
The song 'Todo Se Queda' by Marceline is a poetic reflection on the nature of change and constancy in life. The lyrics invite the listener to revisit a familiar place, a garden, where they will find something they left behind. However, upon finding it, they notice it has changed, faded, and when viewed from a different perspective, it appears clearer from below. This metaphor suggests that while things may remain in the same place, they are subject to change over time, often in subtle ways that we may only notice when we look at them differently.
The garden serves as a symbol for places or memories that hold significance in our lives. The act of returning to the garden and finding things altered represents the passage of time and the inevitable transformation that comes with it. The song captures the bittersweet realization that nothing remains untouched by time, yet there is a constancy in the presence of these things in our lives, even if they are not the same as we remember them.
Marceline's lyrics convey a sense of acceptance of the natural process of change. The repetition of the phrase 'Todo se queda' (Everything stays) reinforces the idea that while the essence of things may remain, their form and our perception of them evolve. It's a reminder to embrace the present moment and the continuous flow of life, acknowledging that change is the only constant.
