Lente

Alex Zurdo's song "Lente" delves into the themes of judgment, redemption, and resilience. The lyrics poignantly highlight how society often focuses on an individual's mistakes rather than their positive contributions. Zurdo contrasts the ease of destruction and judgment with the difficulty of building and thinking deeply. This dichotomy is evident in lines like "Siempre es más fácil destruir que edificar o construir" (It's always easier to destroy than to build or construct) and "Siempre es más fácil juzgar porque es más difícil pensar" (It's always easier to judge because it's harder to think).

The song emphasizes that a single error can overshadow a lifetime of good deeds. This is encapsulated in the lines, "Puedes hacer cientos de obras por amor y sepultarlas con un solo error" (You can do hundreds of works out of love and bury them with a single mistake). Despite this harsh reality, Zurdo offers a message of hope and resilience through the metaphor of the "lente del cielo" (lens of heaven). This divine perspective sees beyond human errors and offers comfort, strength, and the opportunity to rebuild. The lens of heaven is described as having "ojos de consuelo" (eyes of comfort) and providing "la fuerza para que alces vuelo" (the strength to take flight).

The song also addresses the idea that one's past mistakes should not define their future. Zurdo encourages listeners to not let a single error determine their path forward, as seen in the lines, "No te define, un error a ti no te define" (It doesn't define you, a mistake doesn't define you). This message is particularly powerful in a world where people are often quick to judge and slow to forgive. By focusing on the compassionate and forgiving perspective of the "lente del cielo," Zurdo inspires listeners to find strength in their struggles and to continue building despite their past errors.
