Al Son de Los Días

Rodrigo Gallardo's song 'Al Son de Los Días' is a poetic exploration of resilience, hope, and the passage of time. The lyrics open with a quest for strength each morning, symbolized by the search for a 'lost flower' at the window. This imagery suggests a longing for beauty and inspiration in the mundane routines of daily life. The flower represents a source of inner strength and renewal, a small yet significant element that can transform one's outlook on the day ahead.

As the song progresses, Gallardo introduces the idea of a new melody illuminated by the sun, which brings hope and dances to the rhythm of the days. This metaphor of a melody signifies the ever-changing nature of life and the continuous flow of time. The sun, a universal symbol of life and energy, enhances this sense of renewal and optimism. The dance of hope to the rhythm of the days suggests an acceptance of life's cyclical nature and the importance of finding joy and meaning in each moment.

In the latter part of the song, Gallardo speaks of igniting his consciousness and letting doves fly, symbolizing a release of burdens and a desire for freedom. The act of setting his consciousness on fire can be interpreted as a transformative process, burning away doubts and fears to achieve clarity and strength. The doves, often symbols of peace and liberation, further emphasize this theme of release and renewal. The repetition of 'que el tiempo se desvanezca' (let time fade away) underscores a wish to transcend the constraints of time and live fully in the present moment.
