Quieren Ser La Luz

Emilio Centu's song "Quieren Ser La Luz" delves into the complex themes of deception, power, and the struggle for authenticity. The repeated phrase "Quieren ser la luz" (They want to be the light) serves as a metaphor for individuals or entities that present themselves as benevolent or enlightening but ultimately cause harm. This duality is highlighted in the lyrics, where those who "fingen ser un encanto" (pretend to be charming) end up causing damage, revealing the facade of their intentions.

The song's narrative is built around the artist's decision to remain silent when questioned about the future, suggesting a sense of disillusionment and mistrust. This silence can be interpreted as a refusal to engage with those who falsely claim to hold power or knowledge. The repetition of "Nadie me entiende, es injusto que crean tener el poder" (Nobody understands me, it's unfair that they think they have the power) underscores a feeling of isolation and frustration with the superficiality and pretense of those who seek to dominate or influence others.

Musically, Emilio Centu's style often blends introspective lyrics with a haunting melody, creating an atmosphere that complements the song's themes. The use of "cantos y llantos" (songs and cries) further emphasizes the emotional manipulation and the eventual betrayal that follows. "Quieren Ser La Luz" invites listeners to reflect on the authenticity of those around them and the true nature of power, urging a deeper understanding of the intentions behind actions and words.
