Sentencia
Alberto Plaza
A Love That Defies Time and Adversity
Alberto Plaza's song 'Sentencia' is a poetic declaration of unwavering love and resilience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that transcends physical presence and time, promising to be a constant companion through all of life's challenges. The imagery of being in someone's mouth wherever they go and the metaphor of springtime every month suggest a love that is ever-present and rejuvenating. The idea of building walls out of clouds implies a sense of security and comfort that is both ethereal and strong.
The song also speaks to the strength and perseverance required in a relationship. The lines about being a companion who does not falter and rising again and again in the face of adversity highlight the resilience and commitment needed to sustain love. The repeated victories in battles symbolize overcoming obstacles together, reinforcing the theme of unity and mutual support.
The chorus, with its command to look into the eyes and the sentence to fly together through silence, suggests a deep, almost spiritual connection. The escape from the yoke of memory and the defeat of despair indicate a love that liberates and heals. The final assertion that 'this is love, the rest is history' encapsulates the idea that true love is timeless and all-encompassing, rendering everything else insignificant. Plaza's lyrical craftsmanship and emotive delivery make 'Sentencia' a powerful ode to enduring love and the triumph of hope over despair.
