Cuando Toque Suelo

Alex Ferreira's song 'Cuando Toque Suelo' delves into the profound emotions of longing and the desire for transcendence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply connected to someone else, to the point where their dreams and reality are intertwined. The phrase 'Cuando toque suelo' (When I touch the ground) symbolizes a return to reality from a state of elevated emotion or dream-like existence. This return is not seen as a mere descent but as a moment of awakening and realization, where the protagonist acknowledges the irreplaceable presence of their loved one.

The song is rich with metaphors, particularly the contrast between the ground and the sky. The ground represents reality, routine, and the familiar, while the sky symbolizes dreams, aspirations, and the extraordinary. The protagonist expresses a desire to 'volar' (fly) even when they touch the ground, indicating a yearning to maintain the sense of elevation and excitement that their loved one brings into their life. The repeated plea for 'más' (more) underscores an insatiable desire for the intensity and passion that comes with love and connection.

Ferreira's use of phrases like 'riesgo y altura' (risk and height) and 'dolor que me cura' (pain that heals me) adds layers of complexity to the song. These lines suggest that the protagonist finds a paradoxical sense of healing and fulfillment in the risks and emotional heights of their relationship. The song captures the essence of human experience, where love and connection can elevate us beyond the mundane, making us crave for more even when we are grounded in reality.
