Discovering Angels in Everyday Life
Melendi's song "Existen Los Angeles" delves into the profound realization that angels, or sources of inspiration and guidance, exist in our everyday lives. The protagonist begins his day struggling to find happiness, burdened by fears and mental noise that obscure his view of life's beauty. This changes when he encounters someone at a market, a moment that awakens his consciousness and makes him realize that he is the captain of his own ship, responsible for navigating through life's challenges.
The lyrics highlight the transformative power of this encounter. The protagonist learns that fears are mere excuses that feed laziness and pain, and that one doesn't need to be a poet or painter to see the muses or sources of inspiration. This person teaches him that the color of our days is chosen by our pursuit of joy, not by the sorrow we allow to dominate. This newfound wisdom is a revelation for the protagonist, who previously relied on science and logic, now understanding that angels, or guiding forces, truly exist.
However, the song also touches on the fragility of this newfound happiness. Just as the protagonist begins to feel a connection, another person appears, causing the object of his affection to smile and leaving him heartbroken. This emotional turmoil culminates in a physical collapse, blurring the lines between reality and a dreamlike state where he questions whether he is in heaven or on earth. The song ends with the protagonist's realization that he cannot live without this newfound source of inspiration, underscoring the deep impact that such encounters can have on our lives.
