Flotante

In 'Flotante,' Zahara delves into the complexities of personal identity and the burdens of societal expectations. The song opens with a reflection on the pressure to be the best, a common theme in many people's lives. Zahara poignantly expresses how this relentless pursuit often leaves little room for self-discovery or understanding one's true desires. The line 'Y odié aquello que más amaba solo porque no era capaz de hacerlo' reveals the internal conflict and resentment that can arise when one's passions are overshadowed by the fear of inadequacy.

The imagery of a missing lighthouse ('Era el faro y ya no estaba') symbolizes a loss of direction and purpose. Zahara describes feeling useless and incomplete, as if a part of her is missing. This sense of emptiness is further illustrated by the metaphor of swallows nesting under her floating ribs, suggesting a fragile and hollow existence. The song's chorus highlights the struggle to maintain a facade of normalcy ('Puedes verme funcionar bien, casi como un humano') while feeling emotionally and spiritually drained.

In the latter part of the song, Zahara shifts focus to a personal relationship, revealing the unrealistic expectations she placed on her partner. She confesses to demanding constant love and attention, treating her partner more like a slave than an equal. This admission underscores the theme of seeking fulfillment and validation from external sources, rather than from within. The song concludes with a plea for forgiveness, acknowledging the harm caused by these demands and the need for self-awareness and growth.
