Buscando Razón

Pedro Suárez-Vértiz's song "Buscando Razón" delves into the existential quest for meaning in a seemingly absurd and chaotic world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person wandering aimlessly, trying to escape reality and find solace in old melodies. The repeated line, "Buscando razón, perdí la razón" (Searching for reason, I lost my reason), encapsulates the paradox of seeking meaning in a world that often appears devoid of it. This search leads to a loss of sanity, highlighting the futility and madness inherent in the human condition when one tries to rationalize everything.

The song also critiques societal norms and the seriousness with which people approach life. Suárez-Vértiz suggests that life becomes a "tontería" (nonsense) or even a "porquería" (mess) when lived too seriously or without autonomy. He emphasizes the importance of love and human connection over rigid rationality, stating, "No existe razón, tan solo existe amor" (There is no reason, only love). This line underscores the idea that love, in its unconditional form, is the only true and meaningful aspect of life.

Furthermore, the song touches on themes of freedom and non-conformity. The protagonist describes himself as a "paquete de averías" (a bundle of breakdowns) due to his sensitivity and unique philosophy. He rejects conventional work ethics, claiming that no one dies from never working. This rebellious spirit is also evident in his casual approach to relationships and life, where any corner can be his office, and any friend can be a true love. The song ultimately champions a life led by love and spontaneity over one constrained by societal expectations and the relentless search for rationality.
