Rara Soledad

Pedro Suárez-Vértiz's song 'Rara Soledad' delves into the complex and often hidden emotions of loneliness and internal struggle. The lyrics open with a scene of awakening, both literal and metaphorical, as the protagonist reassures that they are not contemplating suicide. This sets the tone for a narrative that explores the aftermath of sudden, distressing events and the difficulty of moving past them. The mention of sleepless nights and the inability to relax highlights the ongoing turmoil within the protagonist's mind.

The song touches on themes of growth and maturity, suggesting that understanding and dealing with one's emotions is a lifelong journey. The line 'Madurar es un libro que nunca pude encontrar' (Maturing is a book I could never find) poignantly captures the elusive nature of emotional maturity. Despite the protagonist's suffering, there is a sense of resilience and a desire to not burden others with their pain, as seen in the lines 'Pero todos mis lamentos molestan a los demás' (But all my laments bother others).

'Rara Soledad' also addresses the universal experience of loneliness that people often hide from others. The lyrics speak to the shared yet unspoken solitude that everyone carries, a solitude that is carefully guarded and rarely discussed. This 'rara soledad' (strange loneliness) is a common thread that binds people together, even though it is seldom acknowledged. The song suggests that this hidden loneliness is a part of the human condition, one that everyone experiences but few openly admit. Through its introspective lyrics, 'Rara Soledad' invites listeners to reflect on their own hidden struggles and the silent battles that others might be facing.
