El Principito

Saurom's song "El Principito" draws inspiration from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic novella "The Little Prince." The lyrics tell the story of a character living on a small asteroid, surrounded by volcanoes, who spends his time contemplating the sun. This setting mirrors the solitary and introspective nature of the protagonist in the original tale. The song's narrative begins with the birth of a beautiful rose, symbolizing love and beauty, but the rose's ego becomes overwhelming, prompting the protagonist to leave in search of deeper truths.

The journey through the universe becomes a metaphor for the search for answers to life's profound questions: the nature of friendship, destiny, and love. The protagonist encounters a wise fox, echoing the novella's themes, who imparts wisdom about what truly matters in life. This encounter emphasizes the importance of seeing beyond superficial appearances and understanding the essence of things, a central theme in "The Little Prince."

The song also reflects on the protagonist's escape from an adult world that stifles dreams and fails to grasp the essential. The lyrics encourage resilience, urging listeners to rise after falling and to embrace life's challenges. Ultimately, the protagonist returns to his asteroid, seeking forgiveness from the rose, acknowledging that "what is essential is invisible to the eye," a poignant reminder that true understanding comes from the heart. This journey of self-discovery and reconciliation highlights the enduring themes of love, forgiveness, and the search for meaning.
