The Cycles of Life and the Weight of Existence in 'Amores Perros'

Molotov's song 'Amores Perros' delves into the complexities of life, the inevitability of aging, and the cyclical nature of existence. The lyrics open with a reflection on the daily struggles and the tendency to worry about the future, emphasizing the importance of tackling immediate challenges before moving forward. This metaphor of 'derribando el primero de los muros' (knocking down the first wall) suggests that progress is a step-by-step process, and one must focus on the present to build a better future.

The song also touches on the repetitive nature of life, where routines and the passage of time play tricks on us, leading to aging and the realization of our mortality. The line 'el paso del tiempo una broma te está jugando' (the passage of time is playing a joke on you) captures the inevitability of aging and the futility of trying to escape it. The lyrics further explore the idea that greed and material desires can lead to ruin, urging listeners to find solutions and erase these negative influences from their lives.

In the latter part of the song, Molotov contemplates the pain of reality versus the allure of fantasy. The lyrics question what would happen if flowers never wilted or if one never had the chance to be reborn. This existential pondering highlights the transient nature of life and the importance of embracing both the highs and lows. The recurring phrase 'amanece el alma' (the soul awakens) symbolizes renewal and the continuous cycle of life, where one disappears and reappears, constantly evolving and experiencing new beginnings.
