Escaping the Shadows: A Journey of Inner Turmoil in 'Quiero volar'
Natos y Waor's song 'Quiero volar (feat. Kutxi Romero)' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles of a person grappling with inner demons and the desire to escape. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with regret, self-destructive behavior, and a yearning for freedom from the pain and mistakes of the past. The recurring theme of wanting to 'fly' symbolizes a desperate need to break free from the chains of one's own actions and the consequences that follow.
The song opens with a poignant image of the protagonist asking someone to keep their photo in a wallet, hinting at the possibility of an uncertain future. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist reflects on their repeated failures and the hollow promises they make to themselves about changing their ways. The line 'Soy un suicida escapando de la muerte' (I'm a suicide escaping death) is particularly striking, encapsulating the paradox of someone who is constantly flirting with danger yet is terrified of the ultimate consequence.
Throughout the song, there is a palpable sense of guilt and resignation. The protagonist acknowledges their inability to change, despite the numerous vows to do so. The collaboration with Kutxi Romero adds a layer of raw, gritty emotion, enhancing the song's overall impact. The imagery of 'cavando el agujero en el que acabaré' (digging the hole in which I will end up) and 'dormir en ceniceros' (sleeping in ashtrays) further emphasizes the depth of the protagonist's despair and self-loathing.
'Quiero volar' is a powerful exploration of the human condition, touching on themes of addiction, regret, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. It resonates with anyone who has ever felt trapped by their own actions and longed for a way out, making it a poignant and relatable piece of music.
