Diferente

Once Tiros' song 'Diferente' paints a vivid picture of a unique individual who stands apart from societal norms. The lyrics describe a person who embodies a blend of violence and tenderness, suggesting a complex character who defies simple categorization. This individual plays a guitar made in Taiwan, symbolizing a mix of global influences and perhaps a sense of being out of place. The mention of their hair smelling like vinaigrette adds a sensory detail that further emphasizes their distinctiveness. The repeated refrain 'Él escribe solo, canta solo, escucha solo, todo solo' (He writes alone, sings alone, listens alone, everything alone) underscores their solitary nature, highlighting a life lived in isolation from mainstream society.

The song continues to explore this character's uniqueness through their appearance and actions. Wearing a shirt of unknown origin and singing melodies that don't fit the current era, they are portrayed as someone who doesn't conform to contemporary trends or expectations. This nonconformity is further emphasized by the line 'No existe mercado que las pueda asimilar' (There is no market that can assimilate them), indicating that their art and existence are too unique to be commercialized or easily understood by the masses. The imagery of their patched-up shorts forming an abstract yet real drawing symbolizes their life as a tapestry of experiences that are both chaotic and authentic.

As the song progresses, it delves into the emotional and existential aspects of this individual's life. Their 'mirada perdida' (lost gaze) and transparency to others suggest a sense of invisibility or being misunderstood by society. Yet, they are on a quest, 'siguiendo el rastro que pudo encontrar' (following the trail they could find), in search of 'un amor diferente' (a different kind of love). This quest for a unique love reflects their desire for a connection that matches their distinct identity. The song ultimately celebrates individuality and the beauty of being different, even if it means living a solitary life.
