Fuego

Vetusta Morla's song 'Fuego' delves into the human experience of facing the unknown and the unnecessary precautions we often take against it. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and questions that challenge the listener to reconsider the need for protection and security when there is no immediate threat. The opening lines, 'Trajeron ropas para impresionar / Trapos y pieles en forma de abrigo / Pero, ¿quién quiere taparse si aun no conoce el frio?' suggest that people often prepare for dangers they have not yet encountered, highlighting a sense of premature caution.

The recurring theme of fire ('Fuego, siempre alrededor') serves as a powerful metaphor for the ever-present challenges and passions in life. The singer asserts control over this fire, symbolizing a sense of personal power and resilience. The line 'Fuego, alguien olvidó que el fuego / Lo guardo yo' emphasizes that the true essence of facing life's trials lies within oneself, not in external safeguards.

Throughout the song, Vetusta Morla questions societal norms and the instinct to protect oneself from hypothetical dangers. Lines like 'Pusieron cajas en el mostrador / Y las vacunas de un recién nacido / Pero, ¿quién quiere curarse si aún no ha sido herido?' challenge the listener to think about the necessity of such precautions. The song ultimately suggests that living fully means embracing the unknown and trusting in one's inner strength to handle whatever comes.
