Desde Que

The song 'Desde Que' by Pastoral delves into the profound and often melancholic reflections on existence, dreams, and the human condition. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world filled with both beauty and sorrow, encapsulated in the imagery of a 'green sea world' and the poignant metaphor of 'espermas muertos antes de llegar' (sperms dead before arriving). This line suggests unfulfilled potential and dreams that never come to fruition, setting a somber tone for the song's exploration of life's complexities.

The song continues to explore the theme of disillusionment with the line 'Desde que oigo mentir con poesía' (Since I hear lies with poetry). This juxtaposition of beauty and deceit highlights the duality of human experience, where even the most beautiful expressions can mask deeper truths. The mention of 'saltar sin verse las lágrimas' (jump without seeing the tears) of those who dared to cry underscores the courage it takes to show vulnerability in a world that often overlooks genuine emotion.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics 'Desde que oigo el sonido del viento azul' (Since I hear the sound of the blue wind) evoke a sense of longing and loss. The 'cementerio del que se atrevió a vivir' (cemetery of those who dared to live) serves as a powerful metaphor for the ultimate fate of those who fully embrace life, despite its inherent challenges and sorrows. The song concludes with a reflection on the beginning of existence, suggesting a cyclical nature to these experiences and emotions, and inviting listeners to ponder their own journey through life.
