The Liberation of Moving On: Camilo Séptimo's 'Ser Humano'

Camilo Séptimo's song 'Ser Humano' delves into the emotional complexities of ending a relationship and finding new love. The lyrics are a candid confession from the narrator to their former partner, expressing that the emotional connection has faded and that they have found someone new. The repetition of phrases like 'ya no puedo decirte que te quiero' (I can no longer tell you that I love you) and 'mi energía está con otro ser humano' (my energy is with another human being) underscores the finality of the breakup and the narrator's commitment to their new relationship.

The song captures the bittersweet nature of moving on. While there is a sense of relief and liberation in the narrator's words, there is also an acknowledgment of the past and what it once meant. The line 'aunque sé que nunca sabes lo que fui' (although I know you never knew what I was) suggests a lingering sense of unfulfilled understanding or recognition from the former partner. This adds a layer of emotional depth, highlighting the complexity of human relationships and the difficulty of truly knowing one another.

Musically, Camilo Séptimo is known for their atmospheric and emotive sound, which complements the introspective and heartfelt lyrics of 'Ser Humano.' The band's style often blends elements of indie rock and synth-pop, creating a dreamy yet poignant backdrop for the song's themes of love, loss, and renewal. The repetitive structure of the lyrics mirrors the cyclical nature of thoughts and emotions that often accompany the end of a significant relationship, making the song both relatable and cathartic for listeners.
