PUPILAS
HUMBE
Reflections Through the Eyes of Time
In "PUPILAS," Humbe delves into the introspective journey of self-reflection and the passage of time. The song opens with the imagery of expanding pupils, symbolizing a deep dive into past memories that are preserved like resin, yet unreachable. This metaphor suggests that while these memories are vivid and alive within, they are also part of a past that cannot be relived. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and acceptance, as the artist acknowledges the life these memories still hold within him.
Humbe explores the theme of personal growth and transformation, as he reflects on the changes he has undergone. The line "Siento que me traiciono por cambiar de versión" suggests an internal conflict with evolving identities. The artist grapples with the idea of changing perspectives, yet finds peace with the passage of time, no longer seeking to alter it. This acceptance is further emphasized by the imagery of wearing his grandfather's suit and attempting to fill his father's shoes, symbolizing the weight of legacy and the desire to honor familial ties while forging his own path.
The song concludes with a powerful metaphor of cutting branches to grow, indicating that personal growth often requires letting go of parts of oneself. The realization that it is too late to return to the past, yet necessary to bury old versions of oneself to be reborn, encapsulates the essence of transformation. "PUPILAS" is a poignant reflection on the inevitability of change and the courage it takes to embrace new beginnings while honoring the past.
