Escaping Reality: The Cosmic Journey of Santaflow
In 'Surco Las Estrellas,' Santaflow delves into the escapism that many artists and dreamers experience. The song begins with the artist expressing his frustration with the mundane and often harsh realities of life on Earth. He acknowledges that while his problems may seem trivial compared to others, they still weigh heavily on him. This sets the stage for his yearning to escape to a place that exists only in his imagination—a place where he can find inspiration and solace.
Santaflow describes his creative process as a form of isolation, where he shuts himself away from the world to compose and record his music. This isolation allows him to enter a different dimension, one where he can connect with listeners on a deeper, emotional level. The metaphor of a spaceship and the imagery of traveling through cyberspace highlight his desire to break free from earthly constraints and explore new realms of creativity and connection. He likens himself to a captain navigating through the stars, using his imagination as his vessel.
The chorus reinforces this theme of escapism, as Santaflow imagines himself as a hero in a fantastical world, saving his 'damsel' and exploring beautiful galaxies. However, he also acknowledges the harsh realities of life on Earth, which often drive him back to his imaginative world. The song touches on themes of alienation and the struggle to find one's place in a world that can be unkind and unwelcoming. Despite these challenges, Santaflow remains a dreamer, proud of his past and hopeful for a future where his dreams can become reality.
'When you listen to me while I sing another song, I sail through the stars, my imagination takes off,' he sings, encapsulating the essence of the song. It's a powerful reminder of the transformative power of creativity and the importance of holding onto one's dreams, even in the face of adversity.
