Infinitos

Siddhartha's song 'Infinitos' delves into the complexities of identity, memory, and the passage of time. The lyrics open with a series of questions that challenge the listener to ponder the essence of the self and the transformations that occur over time. The repeated questioning of '¿Quién te dijo quien soy yo?' ('Who told you who I am?') and '¿Quién fue todo lo mejor?' ('Who was everything the best?') suggests a search for understanding and a reflection on past experiences. The imagery of the sea and sand, and the bird that can no longer fly, symbolizes the inevitable changes and losses that come with time and life’s trials.

The chorus brings a sense of nostalgia and a bittersweet acknowledgment of past moments. 'Y volamos alto como ayer que habíamos estado aquí' ('And we flew high like yesterday when we had been here') evokes a longing for the past and the heights once reached. The phrase 'fue una forma de morir y hacernos infinitos' ('it was a way to die and make us infinite') suggests that through these experiences, there is a transcendence, a way to become eternal. This paradox of dying to become infinite speaks to the transformative power of memories and experiences, making them timeless.

As the song progresses, it touches on themes of forgiveness and acceptance. 'Nos perdonamos al saber que habíamos llegado al fin' ('We forgave ourselves knowing we had reached the end') indicates a reconciliation with the past and an understanding that the journey, with all its highs and lows, is what makes us feel alive. The repetition of 'que estábamos vivos' ('that we were alive') reinforces the idea that it is through these reflections and reconciliations that we truly grasp the essence of life. Siddhartha's poetic lyrics and evocative imagery invite listeners to reflect on their own lives, memories, and the infinite nature of their personal journeys.
