Todo Lo Que Soy

Alberto Plaza's song 'Todo Lo Que Soy' is a profound exploration of identity, hope, and resilience. The lyrics delve into the essence of the self, reflecting on past experiences, present aspirations, and future possibilities. Plaza poetically conveys the idea that everything he is, wants to be, and has been, converges in the present moment. This convergence is filled with hope and dreams, encapsulated in the stories he has told and the possibilities that have yet to unfold. The song is a testament to the power of hope and the importance of holding onto dreams, even when faced with uncertainty and challenges.

The metaphor of being an 'arlequín' (harlequin) living in a crystal ball suggests a sense of being observed and judged, yet also possessing a unique perspective on life. Plaza describes himself as coming from the future and moving backward, symbolizing a journey of self-discovery and reflection. This journey is not linear but rather a complex interplay of past, present, and future. The imagery of being a stowaway on the ship of peace and wanting to be a seed of virtue highlights his desire for personal growth and contribution to a better world, despite the challenges and truths he faces.

The song also emphasizes the power of faith and the importance of perseverance. Plaza speaks of faith moving mountains and the need to cling to even a song as a source of light in dark times. This message is particularly poignant in the context of overcoming abandonment and despair. The recurring theme of resurrection each morning with new promises and strength to continue the battle against nostalgia underscores the resilience required to keep moving forward. 'Todo Lo Que Soy' is a powerful reminder to look ahead with hope and determination, embracing the journey of life with all its complexities and uncertainties.
