En Alas De La Mentira

Radio Futura's song 'En Alas De La Mentira' delves into the complex interplay between truth, illusion, and the human psyche. The lyrics explore the concept of lies as a means of escape, suggesting that falsehoods can sometimes offer a refuge from harsh realities. The opening lines, 'La mentira es algo que se esconde / Para no tener que existir,' imply that lies are hidden to avoid confronting the truth, creating a space where one can exist without the burden of reality.

The recurring imagery of dancing on the edge of a rooftop symbolizes a precarious balance between freedom and danger. The protagonist closes their eyes and dances, teetering on the brink of potential disaster, yet feeling a sense of liberation. This act of dancing 'Al borde del tejado' (on the edge of the rooftop) could be interpreted as a metaphor for living on the edge, embracing the thrill of the unknown, and the possibility of transcending ordinary life.

The song also touches on themes of existentialism and the fleeting nature of life. Lines like 'Los sueños desbordan al tiempo / Que la vida no puede medir' suggest that dreams and aspirations often surpass the constraints of time and reality. The acceptance of mortality is evident in 'Ahora ya que importa si un día tuviera que morir,' indicating a resignation to the inevitability of death and a focus on the present moment. Through its poetic lyrics and evocative imagery, 'En Alas De La Mentira' invites listeners to reflect on the delicate balance between truth and illusion, and the ways in which we navigate the complexities of existence.
