Por El Lente Del Cielo

Vico C's song "Por El Lente Del Cielo" delves deep into the themes of judgment, redemption, and divine compassion. The lyrics narrate the stories of individuals who are harshly judged by society for their past actions and current struggles. The song begins by describing a man labeled as 'malvado' (evil) and 'demente' (insane) due to his addiction to drugs and alcohol. Society shuns him, fearing the loss of respect from others. However, Vico C contrasts this societal judgment with a divine perspective, suggesting that through 'el lente del cielo' (the lens of heaven), this man is seen as someone with a future, emphasizing God's grand plan over human flaws.

The narrative then shifts to a woman labeled as a 'ramera' (prostitute) and 'enfermiza' (sick) because of her numerous past relationships and children from different fathers. Society deems her unworthy of respect and love, but again, Vico C highlights that through the lens of heaven, she is viewed differently, with potential and a future. This perspective challenges the listener to reconsider their judgments and recognize the inherent worth and potential in every individual, as seen by a higher power.

In the final verses, Vico C turns the lens on himself, acknowledging the accusations and judgments he has faced for not living up to the ideals he sings about. He admits to his failures and the pain they caused, but through the lens of heaven, he too is seen as someone with a future. This self-reflection adds a personal touch to the song, making it a powerful plea for empathy and understanding. The recurring theme is clear: human judgment is flawed and limited, but divine perspective sees beyond our mistakes to our potential for redemption and growth.
