Burning the Paper City: A Journey to Self-Liberation

In "CIUDAD DE PAPEL," TULI crafts a poignant narrative about breaking free from the illusions of a false relationship. The song's title, which translates to "Paper City," serves as a metaphor for the fragile and superficial nature of the love the artist once believed in. The lyrics reveal a journey from naivety to self-awareness, as the protagonist realizes that the rosy world they once envisioned was built on lies, painting everything gray. The act of burning the paper city symbolizes a cathartic release from the deceit and the beginning of a new chapter.

The song delves into the theme of self-discovery and empowerment. TULI expresses a desire to move beyond the facade of love that merely masked the true nature of their partner. The repetition of "Mejor, si ya no estás" ("Better if you're not here") underscores the relief and clarity that comes with the absence of the false lover. This refrain highlights the protagonist's newfound strength and the realization that life is indeed better without the burden of pretense and insincerity.

TULI's lyrics also emphasize the importance of self-reliance and personal growth. The mention of a "blank page" signifies the opportunity to start anew, free from the constraints of past deceptions. The artist's resolve to not "fingir" ("pretend") anymore reflects a commitment to authenticity and self-love. By discarding the remnants of the past, such as photos and flowers, TULI embraces a future untainted by false promises, illustrating a powerful message of liberation and self-empowerment.
