Embracing Authenticity: The Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Lo Que Soy'
In 'Lo Que Soy,' TINI delves into the profound journey of self-discovery and the courage it takes to embrace one's true self. The song begins with a reflection on her childhood, marked by timidity and the fear of expressing her true feelings. This sets the stage for a narrative about overcoming internal barriers and allowing her inner light to shine. The lyrics, 'Tengo un sueño en mí que brillando está / Lo dejaré salir por fin tu sabrás,' signify a pivotal moment where she decides to let her dreams and true self emerge, no longer hidden by fear or doubt.
The chorus, 'Lo que soy / Es real soy exactamente la debo ser hoy,' is a powerful declaration of self-acceptance and authenticity. TINI emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and letting one's inner light shine. This message is further reinforced with the lines, 'Deja que la luz brille en mí / Ahora sí / Sé quien soy no hay manera de ocultar,' which highlight the liberation and empowerment that come with self-awareness and self-expression. The repetition of 'Lo que soy' serves as a mantra, reinforcing the theme of embracing one's true identity.
The song also touches on the idea of finding a missing piece, as TINI sings, 'Eres esa voz que habita en mí / Por eso estoy cantando / Quiero encontrarte / Voy a encontrarte.' This suggests that part of her journey involves seeking and finding a voice or presence that completes her, possibly hinting at a deeper connection with herself or with others who understand and support her true self. The recurring theme of searching and finding underscores the ongoing nature of self-discovery and the importance of connection in this process.
