The Weight of Unfulfilled Dreams: A Journey Through Self-Reflection
Revolver's song "Todo Aquello Que Jamas Sere" delves deep into the themes of self-reflection, regret, and acceptance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is grappling with the weight of their unfulfilled dreams and the realization of what they will never become. The opening lines, "Tengo más por esconder que por mostrar," suggest a life filled with hidden regrets and unspoken apologies, encapsulated in the phrase "una colección completa de los siento." This collection of regrets and missed opportunities is a heavy burden that the protagonist carries, symbolized by the ghosts with chains that haunt him.
The song also touches on the protagonist's personal life, mentioning his family and pets as sources of solace and stability. The lines "Tengo dos perros pequeños dos parejas de tortugas / Dos hijos y solo una mujer" highlight the simple yet significant aspects of his life that keep him grounded. Despite these anchors, he is constantly reminded of his limitations and the things he will never achieve, encapsulated in the recurring line "Todo aquello que jamas seré." This line serves as a poignant reminder of the gap between his aspirations and reality.
The lyrics also explore the protagonist's internal struggles, such as his battles with shyness, shame, and fear. These emotions are described as integral parts of his being, with phrases like "Hice de la timidez mi compañera" and "Con el miedo la pasta de mis huesos y la piel." The imagery of cutting off lizard tails that grow back, "Mis complejos son rabos de lagartija / Que los corto y me vuelven a crecer," symbolizes the persistent nature of his insecurities. Despite these challenges, there is a sense of ongoing effort and hope, as he continues to strive to complete what he once started, even if it seems unattainable.
