Todas Las Cosas
Second
A Journey of Dreams and Togetherness
The song 'Todas Las Cosas' by Second is a poetic exploration of dreams, aspirations, and the desire for companionship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, where the protagonists are set on a voyage towards the unknown, symbolized by a sailboat heading north. This journey represents the pursuit of dreams and the challenges that come with it, such as the struggle against the elements and the metaphorical 'fire' that tries to burn them. The recurring theme of 'all things' and 'all places' emphasizes a boundless curiosity and a yearning to experience everything life has to offer.
The chorus, with its repeated lines 'quiero hacer todas las cosas' and 'quiero ver todos los sitios,' underscores a deep-seated desire to explore and achieve. However, this exploration is not solitary; the singer expresses a need for the presence of a significant other, highlighting the importance of companionship in their journey. The phrase 'quiero que tu estes lo necesito' reveals a dependency on this person, suggesting that their presence is essential for the fulfillment of these dreams.
The imagery of being 'rodeado de sal' (surrounded by salt) and the reference to hidden maps that only the two of them can see adds a layer of intimacy and exclusivity to their adventure. It suggests that their journey is unique and personal, shared only between them. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and determination, with the belief that they will reach what they adore, despite the obstacles. It is a celebration of dreams, love, and the shared experiences that make life meaningful.
