Tratando de encontrarla

Shaila's song 'Tratando de encontrarla' delves into the profound search for an elusive ideal, personified as 'ella' (she). The lyrics paint a picture of a world fraught with corruption, disillusionment, and the decay of noble concepts. The protagonist is on a relentless quest to find 'her,' which can be interpreted as a metaphor for truth, justice, or a lost sense of hope. The song opens with the protagonist's acknowledgment of the pervasive corruption, where justice is bribed, revolutions sell their hope, and science evolves into a nuclear assassin. This bleak portrayal sets the stage for the protagonist's yearning for something pure and untainted.

The chorus reflects a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. The 'triste oscuro y gris camino' (sad, dark, and gray path) symbolizes the challenging journey through a world devoid of color and joy. Yet, the protagonist dreams of a 'sueño azul' (blue dream), a symbol of peace and serenity. The act of 'pintando otra actitud' (painting another attitude) suggests a proactive approach to transforming one's reality, despite the surrounding bleakness. The protagonist's dreams run alongside 'vos' (you), indicating a shared journey towards a better place, a place where ideals can be realized.

In the second verse, the song continues to explore themes of confinement and manipulation. Liberty is depicted as imprisoned and dreamless, while information educates from a distance, possibly alluding to the superficiality and detachment of modern communication. The mention of 'la metafísica del Dios ungido en otra muerte más' (the metaphysics of the anointed God in yet another death) adds a layer of existential questioning and critique of religious dogma. Despite these challenges, the protagonist's resolve to find 'her' remains unwavering, driven by the belief that a better place exists, where dreams and ideals can flourish.
