Vuelvo a Mí
Nana Mendoza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi verdad quiere salir a andar
Y el mundo
Me frena
Si la guardo es mi enfermedad
Cuando la escucho es mi libertad
Y el miedo, se aleja
Somos fragmentos de una luz
Todo ese caos si fluye llueve para florecer
Que duela no está mal
Dónde está el valor que perdió mi voz
Quien tiene el manual de lo que es amar
Quiero ser real
Dejar el ego atrás
Aceptar el mal que tanto me esforcé en borrar
Vuelvo a mi
Vuelvo a mi
Y si mi voz te calma ven
Somos fragmentos de una luz
Todo ese caos si fluye llueve para florecer
Que duela no está mal
Dónde está el valor que perdió mi voz
Quien tiene el manual de lo que es amar
Quiero ser real
Dejar el ego atrás
Aceptar el mal que tanto me esforcé en borrar
Vuelvo a mi
The lyrics of Nana Mendoza's song "Vuelvo a Mí" delve deep into the theme of self-discovery and acceptance. The opening lines, "Imposible de disimular, Mi verdad quiere salir a andar," convey the inner struggle the singer faces in hiding their true self from the world. The desire for authenticity clashes with societal expectations and norms, symbolized by the line, "Y el mundo me frena" (And the world stops me).
The conflicting emotions of fear and liberation are highlighted in the lyrics, with the singer acknowledging that suppressing their truth is a form of "enfermedad" (illness) while embracing it brings "libertad" (freedom). The theme of overcoming internal barriers is reinforced through the imagery of fear receding as the truth is embraced, as captured in "Y el miedo, se aleja" (And the fear, fades away).
The chorus of the song touches on the transformative power of vulnerability and emotional expression. The invitation for the listener to find solace in the singer's voice suggests a bond formed through shared experiences and emotions, with the idea that individuals are interconnected as "fragmentos de una luz" (fragments of light). The metaphor of chaos flowing to nourish growth mirrors the idea that pain and discomfort are integral parts of personal evolution and self-discovery.
In the final verse, the singer reflects on reclaiming their true essence and shedding layers of ego and facade. The quest for authenticity is coupled with a willingness to confront past mistakes and embrace the darker aspects of oneself that have been suppressed. The repeated refrain of "Vuelvo a mi" (I return to myself) serves as a mantra of self-realization and a commitment to staying true to one's inner voice and journey of self-acceptance.
