The lyrics of Smitten's song "Esta Marea" convey the message that in order to accomplish anything meaningful in life, one must confront adversity and face difficult challenges. The opening lines, "Para luchar hay que pensar, para pensar hay que estar, tal vez, en un lugar peor" suggest that in order to fight, one must think strategically and consider all possible outcomes, and perhaps find oneself in a less-than-ideal situation. The lyricist then goes on to say, "para ser feliz hay que soñar, no es feliz la realidad," emphasizing the importance of having goals and aspirations in life, because the reality around us is often not conducive to happiness.
However, the song also recognizes that striving for success can be exhausting and emotionally draining, noting "en este sitio que no espera, hoy quiero dejar mi mente en blanco no quiero morir en este llanto" - sometimes we need to step back and take a break, to let our minds rest and prevent ourselves from becoming overwhelmed with negativity. The song also acknowledges that change can be difficult, suggesting that "para cambiar hay que odiar why para odiar si que hay que amar, algo que me es inalcanzable" - sometimes, in order to make positive changes in our lives, we may need to confront and overcome negative emotions and beliefs that are holding us back.
Overall, "Esta Marea" is a song about perseverance, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. It encourages listeners to face their challenges head-on, dream big, and never give up.
