Ahora que veo el color el vuelo emprendo
el velo del vapor lo divide a dos tiempos
la noche es la union las puertas en tus ojos
y alguien desmentirá si hubo alguna relación

Lo quiero concretar de algo servirá
aterrizar en algún lugar
jugamos con el sol lo puedo explotar

y hacer brillar, hay que brillar
y que esta realidad alguien la inventó
podría jurar quien la creó
y en la imaginación también detonará
nuestro tiempo y el ahora

y ahora que comenzó una vida en mi interior
hoy quiero descifrar por que no me dolió
y ahora con lo que soy los sueños son un todo
y alguien desmentirá si hubo una relación.

Lo quiero concretar de algo servirá
aterrizar en algún lugar
jugamos con el sol lo puedo explotar
y hacer brillar, hay que brillar
y que esta realidad alguien la inventó
podría jurar quien la creó
y en la imaginación también detonará
nuestro tiempo y el ahora

y son tantas obras

Overall Meaning

The song "Origen" by Budaya contemplates the idea of existence and the purpose of life. The lyrics describe the singer's experience of seeing colors and taking flight, as if awakening to a new level of consciousness. The veil of vapor that divides time and space is lifted, and the night becomes a union of all things. The doors to perception are opened through someone's eyes, and the singer questions whether or not any relationship existed at all.

As the song continues, the artist muses on the idea of concreteness and the need to exist in a certain place. The sun is referenced as a tool to be played with and exploited to create brilliance. The reality of existence is questioned, and the artist suggests that it may have been created by someone who is now long gone. Despite this, the song encourages the listener to imagine and make the most of the present moment, as our time on earth is finite. In the final verse, the singer asserts that they are now whole and that their dreams have become all-encompassing. The relationship the artist questions is never explicitly explained, but the song suggests that it has been either denied or forgotten.
