A Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Rock de Campana'
Moris's song 'Rock de Campana' is a poignant exploration of a journey, both literal and metaphorical. The lyrics depict the narrator embarking on a trip to Campana, a city in Argentina, with a sense of liberation and detachment from their past life. The opening lines, 'Voy para campana / No tengo nada que perder,' set the tone for a journey where the protagonist has nothing to lose and everything to gain. This sense of freedom is further emphasized by the line, 'Hoy dejo la ciudad / Arranqué todo ya de mí,' indicating a complete break from their previous life and the start of a new chapter.
The song delves into the theme of a one-way journey, as highlighted by the line, 'Es un viaje sin retorno / Qué le voy a hacer.' Unlike previous departures marked by farewells at the station, this journey is solitary and final. The repeated plea, 'Escribanme, dónde quiera que esté / Escribanme, que les contestaré,' suggests a desire to maintain a connection with the past, even as the protagonist moves forward. This duality of seeking new experiences while holding onto old ties adds depth to the narrative.
The lyrics also reflect a sense of wanderlust and the unpredictability of life. The mention of the Paraná River and the idea of having no fixed destination, 'Hoy no tengo calles / Ni destino fijo en la ciudad,' symbolize the open-ended nature of the journey. The protagonist's contemplation of whether this solitary journey will ever end, 'Mi viaje solitario / Hasta cuándo durará,' raises existential questions about the human experience and the search for meaning. The song concludes with the possibility of finding a home or a new beginning, 'En algun lugar me espera / Tal vez un hogar / Ahí terminará mi viaje / O ahí empezará,' leaving the listener with a sense of hope and anticipation for what lies ahead.
