Volver a Ser

La Santa Grifa's song 'Volver a Ser' is a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the loss of innocence. The lyrics express a deep yearning to return to childhood, a time perceived as simpler and more carefree. The artist uses the metaphor of life as time to plead for a chance to revert to a state of childlike purity and joy.

The song delves into the artist's personal journey, contrasting the innocence of youth with the harsh realities of adult life. The lyrics recount the transition from playing in the streets as a child to facing the challenges and temptations of adulthood, such as substance abuse and societal expectations. The artist reflects on the changes that have occurred over the years, acknowledging that they are no longer the 'correct' person they once were. This introspection reveals a sense of regret and a desire to escape the complexities of life, even if it means embracing a 'loca callejera' or wild street life.

'Volver a Ser' also touches on themes of family and the impact of one's upbringing. The artist reminisces about a childhood marked by domestic violence and addiction within the family, yet still longs for the simplicity and patience that came with being a child. The song concludes with an acceptance that the past cannot be changed, but it's important to celebrate both the good and bad moments that have shaped one's life. La Santa Grifa's music often explores the struggles and realities of street life, and 'Volver a Ser' is a testament to the universal desire to reconnect with a lost sense of innocence and the bittersweet nature of nostalgia.
