Planeador

The song 'Planeador' by Love of Lesbian, a Spanish indie pop band known for their poetic lyrics and evocative music, delves into the theme of longing for the freedom and creativity of youth. The lyrics tell the story of the 'Halley Star,' a metaphor for the singer's youthful dreams and aspirations, which are personified as a great invention that has since ceased to return to him, symbolizing the loss of innocence and the abandonment of one's dreams as one grows older.

The song's narrator expresses a desire to return to the 'blue' of the sky, which represents the joy and freedom of piloting 'paper airplanes'—a metaphor for the simple yet boundless creativity of childhood. The 'planeador' or glider is a symbol of the narrator's wish to elevate great ideas and find the treasures hidden by the child he once was. The lyrics reflect a sense of being grounded, both literally and figuratively, by the weight of adult responsibilities and the loss of childlike wonder.

The chorus, 'Que alguien me salve' (Someone save me), underscores the narrator's plea for rescue from the mundanity of adult life, yearning for the thrill of flying close to the sky. The song ends with a call to the 'Halley Star,' a plea for the return of the narrator's inner child and the rekindling of his dreams. The song is a poignant reminder of the tension between the dreams we hold dear and the realities we face as we grow older, and the universal desire to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that we've left behind.
