Volar

The song 'Volar' by Nerze NZ is a poignant reflection on the desire for emotional liberation and the struggles of overcoming personal demons. The title itself, which translates to 'Fly' in English, suggests a yearning to break free from the chains that hold one down, whether they be internal conflicts or external circumstances.

The lyrics convey a deep sense of vulnerability and introspection. The repeated lines 'Solo quiero volar / Dejar de huir / Poderte cantar / Lo que te escribí' ('I just want to fly / Stop running away / Be able to sing to you / What I wrote') express a longing to escape from the cycle of fear and avoidance, and to share one's innermost thoughts and feelings through song. The artist touches on themes of self-love and resilience, acknowledging past difficulties in valuing oneself and the continuous effort required to stand up after falling down. The mention of a 'circle of rage' and a 'link without magic' with abundant sorrow highlights the internal battles and the impact of emotional pain on one's ability to live fully.

The song also delves into the complexities of relationships and the fear of loneliness. References to looking at the moon and seeing a reflection, or looking in the mirror and seeing only flaws, illustrate the struggle with self-image and the pain of separation from a loved one. The artist dreams of a future together, growing old with someone, yet grapples with the temptation to numb the pain through alcohol, a temporary escape that ultimately leads back to the same sorrows. The song ends on a note of cautious optimism, recognizing that life isn't always as bad as it seems and that a happy ending is possible.
