Locos de Atar

Sidecars' song 'Locos de Atar' is a poetic exploration of love, freedom, and the joy of living in the moment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two lovers embarking on a carefree adventure, sailing through the Rías Baixas, a picturesque region in Spain known for its beautiful estuaries. The imagery of the sailboat and the sea serves as a metaphor for their relationship, which is filled with spontaneity and a sense of liberation. The line 'Te ríes cuando llevo yo el timón' (You laugh when I steer) suggests a playful dynamic between the couple, highlighting the joy and lightheartedness they find in each other's company.

The song delves deeper into the theme of time and its fleeting nature. The lovers lose track of time, symbolizing their immersion in the present and their disregard for the past and future. This is further emphasized by the line 'Dejamos en la arena una promesa que al rato la marea se llevó' (We left a promise in the sand that the tide soon took away), indicating that they are not bound by promises or expectations. Instead, they are 'viviendo en el intento' (living in the attempt), embracing the uncertainty and beauty of the moment.

The recurring phrase 'Dos locos de atar' (Two madly in love) encapsulates the essence of their relationship. They are described as 'flotando en el mar' (floating in the sea), which can be interpreted as them being adrift in their own world, unaffected by external pressures. The song's carefree and rebellious spirit is further highlighted by the mention of planning a 'secuestro' (kidnapping), which can be seen as a metaphor for their desire to escape societal norms and live life on their own terms. Through its evocative lyrics and imagery, 'Locos de Atar' celebrates the exhilaration of love and the freedom that comes with living in the moment.
