Ley de gravedad

“Ley de gravedad” by Ojos de Brujo is a poetic exploration of self-discovery and resilience. The song opens with the protagonist reflecting on the past, confronting fears, and embracing the journey ahead without a clear direction. The imagery of being a lost weather vane, swayed by the brightest things, suggests a search for meaning and purpose amidst confusion. The absence of a compass and the presence of solitude are depicted in vibrant 'technicolor,' indicating a vivid, albeit lonely, path of self-exploration.

The lyrics delve into the idea of authenticity, contrasting genuine connections with superficial ones. The lines “Las palabras que no son / Son paja en el camino” and “Los amigos que no son / Son sonámbulos de pasillo” highlight the importance of true words and real friendships, dismissing the insubstantial and the insincere. This theme is further emphasized by the repeated plea, “Dime dónde estás, dime dónde vas, dime lo que ves,” which translates to a yearning for clarity and truth in a world filled with ambiguity.

The chorus, “Ley de gravedad... No necesito tener alas pa volar,” challenges the conventional notion of gravity, symbolizing the protagonist's determination to rise above limitations without needing physical wings. The wind and the weather vane metaphorically represent the constant changes and the protagonist's steadfastness despite them. The repeated assertion, “Pero no pa siempre,” suggests a belief in the impermanence of the current state of the world, offering hope that the upside-down nature of things will eventually be set right. This song is a powerful anthem of resilience, authenticity, and the relentless pursuit of self-discovery, resonating deeply with anyone navigating the complexities of life and identity.
