Impulso

Adrian Berra's song 'Impulso' is a poetic reflection on the necessity of change and the courage to act in the face of life's inevitable transformations. The lyrics begin with a series of questions that challenge the listener to consider where they will find rest and solace once the current turmoil has subsided and wounds have healed. The imagery of a flooded home and a person remaining seated on a wet couch suggests a state of paralysis or denial in the midst of chaos.

The song then shifts to a broader perspective, observing the decay of the world and the passage of time, symbolized by the autumn leaves falling near a window. This scene sets a tone of melancholy and introspection, yet it also hints at the natural cycle of life and the potential for renewal. Berra encourages the listener to seize the moment ('Tomemos el impulso') and make a conscious choice to leave behind the sadness ('Dejemos descansar a la melancolía') and embrace the opportunities that life presents, even if it means stepping out of one's comfort zone.

The repeated chorus serves as a call to action, urging the listener to break away from the mundane ('Abandonemos los pasillos elegantes de un consorcio que no dice nada') and to find joy in simple acts of rebellion ('Tiremos piedras al cemento como si fuera un lago de agua congelada'). Berra's message is clear: life is fleeting, and we must take the initiative to live fully, explore new paths, and not let the weight of melancholy hold us back from experiencing the world.
