Ya lo Sabemos

Árbol's song 'Ya lo Sabemos' delves into the universal experience of fear and the various ways people cope with it. The repeated line 'Ya lo sabemos todos tenemos un poco de miedo' ('We all know, we all have a little fear') serves as a reminder that fear is a common thread that binds humanity. This acknowledgment of shared vulnerability creates a sense of solidarity among listeners, making the song both relatable and comforting.

The lyrics explore the complexities of dealing with fear, highlighting the different strategies people use to navigate their anxieties. Lines like 'A veces hay que mentir, a veces hay que decir la verdad' ('Sometimes you have to lie, sometimes you have to tell the truth') and 'A veces hay que matar, a veces hay que saber perdonar' ('Sometimes you have to kill, sometimes you have to know how to forgive') illustrate the moral ambiguities and difficult choices that come with facing fear. The song suggests that there is no one-size-fits-all solution; instead, it emphasizes the importance of resilience and adaptability.

Metaphors such as 'Como muelas que se rompen, como dientes que se asfixian' ('Like molars that break, like teeth that suffocate') vividly depict the physical and emotional toll that fear can take. These images convey a sense of pain and struggle, yet the recurring phrase 'y seguir, y seguir, y seguir' ('and continue, and continue, and continue') underscores the necessity of perseverance. The song ultimately encourages listeners to keep moving forward despite their fears, reinforcing the idea that overcoming fear is an ongoing process.
