La última prosa

Lisandro Aristimuño's song 'La última prosa' is a poetic exploration of solitude, longing, and the anticipation of a significant other. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a person caught between the desire to wait for someone and the weariness of solitude. The opening lines, 'No sé si esperarte de nuevo por una mañana o dos,' reflect the uncertainty and hope that the speaker feels, unsure if they should continue waiting for the arrival of their loved one.

The song's imagery is both intense and tender. Phrases like 'El jugo en mi sobra es ardiente' and 'La buena noticia sos vos' convey a deep emotional intensity, suggesting that the presence of the loved one is a source of warmth and joy amidst the coldness of solitude. The night, personified as something that grows tired of watching the speaker, adds to the sense of weariness and the passage of time, 'quizá es mejor descansar.'

As the song progresses, the anticipation builds with the lines 'Y vendrás con una sonrisa envuelta en la brisa,' indicating the arrival of the loved one, bringing a sense of relief and joy. However, the speaker also acknowledges their own vulnerability and confusion, 'me verás inútil demente inconcientemente.' The metaphor of 'pisaré tu cama de fosas (y no mariposas)' suggests a complex and perhaps troubled relationship, where the speaker's presence is more of a burden than a delight. The final lines, 'Resolveré la última prosa, resuelve mis cosas, en soledad,' encapsulate the theme of seeking resolution and understanding in solitude, highlighting the introspective and contemplative nature of the song.
