A Solas

In 'A Solas,' Suu delves into the profound and often challenging experience of solitude. The song's lyrics reveal a journey of self-discovery and introspection, where the protagonist grapples with the complexities of being alone. The opening lines, 'A solas finjo no temer al tiempo / A solas sufro, a solas siento,' set the tone for a narrative that oscillates between fear and acceptance of solitude. The protagonist paints their 'coraza de colores' to mask their vulnerability, suggesting a facade to hide their true feelings from the world.

The song also explores the tension between longing for a loved one and the necessity of solitude for personal growth. Lines like 'A veces, a solas, tengo miedo, de que no vuelvas / O de que vuelvas demasiado pronto' capture this delicate balance. The protagonist acknowledges the need to 'aprender a no esperarte / A ser más yo y menos nosotros,' emphasizing the importance of self-reliance and individuality. This internal conflict is further highlighted by the metaphor of a book that should 'vuele con su historia,' symbolizing the past that should be let go.

A pivotal moment in the song occurs when the protagonist encounters their reflection in the mirror, symbolizing a confrontation with their true self. The reflection speaks of long-standing neglect and the newfound attention it receives, marking a significant step in the protagonist's journey towards self-acceptance. The repeated refrain, 'Y no me quedan ya verdades que contar / Se me trabó la lengua tratando de explicar,' underscores the difficulty of articulating these complex emotions. Ultimately, 'A Solas' is a poignant exploration of the necessity of solitude for self-discovery and the courage it takes to face one's true self.
