Aves Del Tiempo
Siddhartha
Timeless Reflections: The Journey of Life in 'Aves Del Tiempo'
Siddhartha's song 'Aves Del Tiempo' is a poetic exploration of the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life. The lyrics open with imagery of 'relojes con arena en movimiento' (clocks with moving sand), symbolizing the relentless flow of time. The mention of 'primaveras que se van' (springs that go away) and 'veranos de felicidad' (summers of happiness) encapsulates the fleeting yet memorable moments of life. These lines suggest a longing to capture and hold onto these ephemeral experiences.
The song continues with 'historias empañadas de aire fresco' (stories fogged with fresh air) and 'las risas cocinaban frases' (laughter cooking phrases), evoking a sense of nostalgia and the depth of shared memories. These memories are not just simple recollections but are imbued with 'profundidad' (depth), indicating their lasting impact on the individual's psyche. The 'aves del tiempo' (birds of time) serve as a metaphor for these memories, flying through the mind and illuminating the past.
As the song progresses, Siddhartha delves into the concept of eternal connections through 'memorias de la sangre' (memories of the blood) and 'las almas que llevamos dentro' (the souls we carry inside). These lines suggest that our past experiences and the people we've encountered are intrinsically linked to our being, traveling with us through eternity. The realization that 'futuro y pasado van hacía el mismo lado' (future and past go towards the same side) brings a profound understanding that life is a continuous journey where past, present, and future are interconnected, all contributing to the 'luz de vida' (light of life).
