Despierta

Miranda Warning's song 'Despierta' is a powerful anthem about awakening from a state of fear and illusion to face reality with courage. The lyrics begin with a call to 'wake up' and leave behind the comforting but deceptive world of dreams. This dream world is described as lacking magical elements like fairies and the land of Oz, emphasizing that it is better to create a world that is true to oneself. The song suggests that living in a dream is a way to avoid confronting real-life challenges and emotions.

The recurring theme of fear and avoidance is evident in lines like 'Escondes tu miedo' (You hide your fear) and 'Detrás de tu máscara' (Behind your mask). The protagonist is urged to remove their mask and see the reality of the person in front of them. The song highlights the contrast between the safety of dreams and the harsh light of day, where true emotions and realities cannot be hidden. The repeated assertion that 'nothing is the same in the light of day' underscores the transformative power of facing one's fears and the truth.

The chorus emphasizes the need for courage, repeating that the protagonist lacks the 'valor' (courage) to face reality and break down their defenses. The song encourages the listener to find strength in their fragility and to recognize that time is passing, urging them to act before it is too late. The metaphor of time passing on a clock serves as a reminder that life is fleeting, and one must seize the moment to live authentically. 'Despierta' is a compelling call to action, urging listeners to break free from their self-imposed limitations and embrace the courage to live fully and truthfully.
