Rue Vieille Du Temple (part. Mon Laferte)

León Larregui's 'Rue Vieille Du Temple,' featuring Mon Laferte, is a poetic exploration of love's transformative power and the escapism it provides. The song's title references a street in Paris, which may symbolize a place of romantic significance for the artist or a metaphor for a journey through emotions and memories.

The lyrics describe a deep connection with someone who has the ability to change the narrator's emotional state. Phrases like 'Marqué tu nombre en la corteza de mi ser' (I marked your name on the bark of my being) suggest a permanent impact that this person has had on the narrator's life. The mention of fighting demons and the relief found when the loved one looks at the narrator implies a struggle with personal issues or inner turmoil, where the presence of the loved one offers solace and a sense of safety. The ability to 'fly' and 'wander between worlds' indicates a desire for escape, possibly from reality or hardships, which the loved one facilitates.

The song also touches on the themes of presence and absence, as the loved one seems to fade into the crowd, yet remains vivid in the narrator's senses, as seen in the line 'Y cuando aprieto los ojos veo tu voz' (And when I close my eyes, I see your voice). The loved one's influence is described as calming, uplifting, and grounding, providing a sense of hope and reality. The repeated desire to 'sit down face to face and find each other' speaks to the longing for connection and understanding within the relationship.
