Bulevares y Deslices

Sofia Ellar's song 'Bulevares y Deslices' delves into the complexities of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both enchanting and tumultuous. The opening lines, 'Nunca sabré qué fuiste / Ni qué serás pero tu calma es polo norte / De mi sur en un I'mán,' suggest a deep connection that is magnetic yet undefined. This sets the tone for a journey through emotional highs and lows, symbolized by 'bulevares' (boulevards) and 'deslices' (slips or mistakes).

The song explores the idea of societal judgment and the pressure it places on relationships. Lines like 'No somos locos ¡qué dices! / Que sólo nos comentan almas tristes' highlight how external opinions can affect personal connections. Despite the happiness they find in each other's company, the couple faces criticism from 'almas grises' (grey souls), representing a society that fails to understand their unique bond. This societal pressure becomes a recurring theme, adding layers of complexity to their love story.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship is strained. The metaphor of 'Tu alicia agarra su reloj por banda' evokes a sense of urgency and impending change, much like Alice in Wonderland's frantic race against time. The protagonist's realization, 'Quizá el malo soy yo / No creo en el amor,' reveals a deep-seated insecurity and a struggle with the concept of love itself. The repeated advice from the doctor, 'reposo al corazón,' underscores the need for emotional healing and self-care. Ultimately, the song captures the bittersweet essence of love—its ability to bring joy and pain, and the inevitable need for self-preservation.
