Solo Los Amantes Sobreviven (feat. Fredi Leis)
Rayden
The Passionate Dance of Love and Desire in 'Solo Los Amantes Sobreviven'
Rayden's song 'Solo Los Amantes Sobreviven' featuring Fredi Leis is a vivid exploration of love, desire, and the intense emotions that come with a deep romantic connection. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery, painting a picture of a love that is both consuming and liberating. Rayden uses powerful language to express his longing and the myriad ways he wishes to connect with his lover, both physically and emotionally.
The song opens with the desire to 'undo' the lover, likening the act to sand slipping through fingers or lava flowing. This imagery suggests a desire to merge completely with the other person, to become one in a way that transcends the physical. The mention of 'cemento fresco' (fresh cement) and planting his footprints in the lover's body indicates a wish for permanence and an indelible mark on each other's lives. This is not a fleeting romance but one that seeks to leave a lasting impression.
Rayden also speaks of creating a new language, one that is intimate and unique to the lovers. This new language is not spoken but felt, communicated through touch and shared experiences. The repetition of 'qué hacer' (what to do) throughout the song underscores the overwhelming nature of his feelings and the struggle to find the right way to express them. The song's title, 'Solo Los Amantes Sobreviven' (Only Lovers Survive), suggests that true love is enduring and resilient, capable of withstanding any challenge.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of love as a public and private act. Rayden wants to 'callarte en la cama y besarte en la calle' (silence you in bed and kiss you in the street), indicating a desire to express love openly and without shame. The song is a celebration of love in all its forms, from the passionate and physical to the tender and emotional. It captures the essence of a love that is all-encompassing and transformative, one that leaves both lovers changed forever.
