Navigating the Labyrinth of Life: A Journey Through 'Todo Tiende'

Ojos de Brujo's song 'Todo Tiende' is a profound exploration of the human condition, filled with rich metaphors and vivid imagery. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where people are constantly seeking something they cannot find, symbolized by 'mendigos piden a mendigos lo ke no tienen ni pueden darse' (beggars asking beggars for what they do not have and cannot give). This line sets the tone for the song, highlighting the endless search for meaning and fulfillment in a world that often feels empty and unyielding.

The song delves into the idea of being a 'ser errante' (wandering being), navigating through the complexities of life, much like a 'bandolero de galaxias y fronteras infinitas' (bandit of galaxies and infinite borders). This metaphor suggests a journey that is both physical and spiritual, crossing not just geographical boundaries but also the limits of consciousness. The repeated exclamation 'cuanto viaje!!!' (what a journey!!!) emphasizes the arduous and continuous nature of this quest.

'Falta esperanza' (lack of hope) and 'el mundo está loco' (the world is crazy) reflect a sense of disillusionment with the current state of the world. However, the song also carries a message of resilience and defiance, urging listeners to 'levanta!' (rise up!) and take control of their destiny. The lyrics encourage a deep introspection and a call to action, to 'coge las riendas al vuelo' (take the reins on the fly) and navigate through life's challenges with determination and courage.

The song's chorus, with its rhythmic 'Dueleleré duelelakínlakínderé,' serves as a cathartic release, a primal scream that encapsulates the pain and struggle inherent in the human experience. The closing lines, 'mendigos piden a mendigos lo ke no tienen ni pueden darse,' bring the song full circle, reiterating the perpetual search for something more, something beyond the tangible. 'Todo Tiende' is a powerful reflection on the human spirit's resilience and the endless journey towards self-discovery and fulfillment.
