Navigating Loss and Fate in Nahuel Pennisi's 'Será'
Nahuel Pennisi's song 'Será' delves into the profound themes of loss, fate, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a solitary journey through a desolate landscape, both literal and metaphorical. The opening lines, 'Ando cruzando el pasto anochecido / Ya no hay más ruido, todo se han ido,' set the stage for a reflective exploration of past experiences and the lingering silence that follows the end of a significant chapter in life. The imagery of 'juntando espectros, pasado y frío' suggests a haunting collection of memories and emotions that continue to affect the narrator deeply.
The recurring motif of time as a relentless force is evident in lines like 'Todo lo quema el tiempo menos la vida / Queda el silencio, como una espina.' Here, Pennisi acknowledges that while time may erode many things, the essence of life and the pain of certain memories remain. The metaphor of a 'espina de tu vino cadencioso' captures the bittersweet nature of these memories, blending warmth and bitterness in a way that is both poignant and relatable.
The chorus, with its repeated assertion that 'Si te llegara a encontrar / No será una casualidad,' emphasizes the belief in destiny and the inevitability of certain encounters. This idea is reinforced by the lines 'Todo tiene un principio / Y fin,' suggesting that every experience, no matter how painful, has its place in the grand scheme of things. The song's refrain, 'Será lo que deba ser / Será,' serves as a mantra of acceptance, acknowledging that some things are beyond our control and must be embraced as they come. Through 'Será,' Pennisi offers a contemplative and emotionally resonant meditation on the interplay between fate, loss, and the enduring impact of our past.
