Longing and Reflection in 'LEJOS (TRIP)' by Ramma
In 'LEJOS (TRIP),' Ramma delves into the emotional landscape of longing and reflection, painting a vivid picture of separation and the yearning for closeness. The song opens with a poignant image of the sky, vast and empty, which the narrator wishes to fill with the presence of a loved one. This metaphor sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting the deep sense of emptiness and desire for connection that permeates the lyrics.
Ramma's lyrics reveal a complex interplay of emotions, from self-awareness of personal flaws to the acknowledgment of shared dreams. The line 'Tengo mil defectos, uno peor que el otro' (I have a thousand flaws, each worse than the last) speaks to a deep self-reflection, while 'Pero sueño' hecho', sé que vos también' (But dreams come true, I know you too) suggests a shared hope and aspiration. The recurring theme of memories when apart underscores the pain of separation and the bittersweet nature of reminiscing about better times.
The song also touches on the struggles of balancing personal ambitions with relationships. The narrator's commitment to his 'misiones en el norte' (missions in the north) and the pressure from external forces, such as companies offering contracts, create a tension between professional pursuits and personal connections. This is further complicated by the uncertainty of the future and the fear of not being able to reunite with the loved one. The heartfelt plea for finding the same 'sintonía' (tuning) reflects a desire for harmony and understanding in the relationship, despite the challenges and distance.
'LEJOS (TRIP)' is a deeply introspective song that captures the essence of longing, self-reflection, and the complexities of maintaining relationships amidst life's demands. Ramma's emotive delivery and the evocative lyrics make it a relatable and moving piece for anyone who has experienced the pain of separation and the hope for reconnection.
