Tercer Tipo

The song 'Tercer Tipo' by Enjambre, a Mexican indie rock band known for their poetic lyrics and melodic sound, delves into the profound and often mystical connection between two beings. The title itself, which translates to 'Third Kind,' is a reference to a close encounter of the third kind, a term from ufology describing human interaction with extraterrestrials. However, in the context of the song, it metaphorically represents a deep, almost otherworldly connection between two lovers.

The lyrics speak of a longing and a certainty of reunion with a loved one. Phrases like 'Un segundo de su tiempo es una eternidad' (A second of their time is an eternity) and 'Algún día te dejaré por siempre de buscar' (Someday I will stop searching for you forever) suggest a deep infatuation and a belief in destiny. The song conveys the idea that no matter the distance or time apart, there is an inevitable and destined moment when the two will reunite. This reunion is described as a 'púrpura atardecer' (purple sunset), symbolizing a beautiful and everlasting moment that everyone will witness.

The song also touches on themes of freedom and the unknown, as seen in the lines questioning the origin and destination of the wind. This could be interpreted as a reflection on the nature of love and existence, which are both free and boundless. 'Tercer Tipo' captures the essence of a love that transcends the ordinary, suggesting a connection that is as mysterious and vast as the universe itself.
