Navigating Pain and Innocence in Pol Granch's 'Alterboy'

Pol Granch's song 'Alterboy' delves into the complex interplay between pain, nostalgia, and the desire to retain one's inner child amidst life's challenges. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of emotional turmoil and the struggle to maintain innocence and purity in a world that often feels harsh and unforgiving. Granch's use of both Spanish and English in the lyrics adds a layer of cultural depth, reflecting his own bilingual background and the universality of the themes he addresses.

The song opens with a sense of longing and frustration, as the narrator sings to someone who isn't listening, symbolizing a one-sided emotional struggle. The lines 'Me quedo sin saldo' (I run out of credit) and 'I'm taking my bros home' suggest a feeling of depletion and the need to retreat to familiar, comforting spaces. The reference to 'Pablo' and 'pirata sin barco' (pirate without a ship) evokes images of lawlessness and aimlessness, further emphasizing the narrator's sense of being lost and disconnected.

A recurring theme in 'Alterboy' is the desire to remain a 'niño dentro' (child inside), despite the passage of time and the accumulation of painful experiences. The plea to 'apuntar con el dedo al cielo' (point a finger to the sky) and the request for comfort from his mother highlight a yearning for simplicity and unconditional love. The chorus, with its repetition of 'dentro' (inside), reinforces the idea of looking inward to find solace and strength. Ultimately, the song is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring hope that, no matter what happens, one can remain true to their inner self.
