Listening to the Heart: A Journey Beyond Reason

Pedro Aznar's song "Si No Oigo a Mi Corazón" delves into the introspective journey of understanding life beyond the confines of logic and reason. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of self-awareness and the realization that intellectualizing life’s experiences often leads to a sense of emptiness. Aznar begins by lamenting the time wasted trying to rationalize life, using the metaphor of poison to describe the futile attempts to find healing through reason alone. This suggests a struggle with overthinking and the limitations of the mind in addressing emotional and spiritual needs.

The song continues with the imagery of drowning in a sea of words, symbolizing the overwhelming nature of trying to find meaning through language and rational thought. The collapse of the castle represents the breakdown of these intellectual constructs, leaving the individual alone with their true self. This moment of solitude is pivotal, as it signifies a turning point where the singer acknowledges the partiality of all knowledge and the importance of the soul's voice over the mind's chatter.

Aznar emphasizes the importance of listening to the heart, suggesting that true understanding and fulfillment come from within. The lyrics highlight the futility of running away from emotions, as symbolized by the rain kissing one's feet. The passage of time and the increasing fear it brings are likened to a bitter taste in a cup, which can only be sweetened by heeding the heart's call. This song is a poignant reminder of the need to balance reason with intuition and to embrace the wisdom of the heart in navigating life's journey.
