Monitor

Volovan's song 'Monitor' delves into the emotional landscape of a relationship strained by distance and the reliance on technology for connection. The lyrics express a sense of longing and the paradox of feeling close to someone who is physically absent. The song's narrator speaks of an illusion of togetherness, where the only presence of the loved one is through a screen, highlighting the modern dilemma of digital intimacy versus physical presence.

The repeated lines 'Y aunque eres invisible / Veo a través de ti' and 'Y siendo intocable / Yo te siento en mis sueños' suggest a deep emotional connection that transcends the physical barriers. The narrator can 'see' and 'feel' the other person despite their invisibility and untouchability, indicating a bond that exists in the mental and emotional realms, perhaps even stronger in dreams than in reality. However, the lament 'Y la distancia le ganó al amor / Sólo te veo en el monitor' reveals the ultimate defeat of their love by distance, acknowledging the limitations of a relationship maintained through technology alone.

Volovan, a band known for their pop-rock style with emotional lyrics, captures the essence of contemporary relationships where technology both bridges and creates gaps. 'Monitor' serves as a commentary on the bittersweet nature of long-distance love in the digital age, where the heartache of separation is juxtaposed with the gratitude for technological connection, yet it's clear that for the narrator, the digital connection is insufficient to sustain the relationship.
