Señales

The song 'Señales' by the Argentine rock band Callejeros delves into the complexities of truth and perception. The lyrics begin with a reflection on the nature of truth, suggesting that neither irony nor falsehood can fully explain what is considered to be true. This philosophical musing sets the tone for a song that questions the very fabric of reality and how individuals understand and interpret their experiences.

The narrator describes feeling like a living dead person, indicating a sense of disconnection from life and a loss of purpose. This existential crisis is further emphasized by the advice to always subtract a doubt from luck and to consider every possibility, no matter how crazy it may seem. The song implies that one's personal truth is found in embracing uncertainty and the unpredictable nature of life. The imagery of 'cristales y puñales' (crystals and daggers) as signals and paths suggests that pain and clarity are both necessary parts of the journey.

The song also critiques societal issues, such as the ambition that blinds people to anything but their desires and the media's tendency to distort the truth. Despite these challenges, the song celebrates the power of music and truth to transcend censorship and bitterness. 'Señales' is a call to remain true to oneself and to seek out one's own truth amidst the noise and confusion of the world.
