It was announced by Festival Republic that Vitalic would be playing both the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK in August 2009.

El Viaje
Vitalic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No es un día muy malo es aún peor.
Ya no sé quién soy ya no puedo más,
Dejaré el trabajo para nunca regresar.
Cuando tenga el mundo entre mis
Brazos, la distancia será un bendición.
Cuando ves el Sol,
Cuando vea el mar pensaré en la gente a la que siempre quiero mas.
Y en invierno volveré
Dirigiéndose hacia el Sur con aliento andaluz.
Ser extraño en la ciudad un vagabundo sin igual.
Y a Mallorca volveré siempre volveré con vos.
Descansar en Alejandro, Barcelona
Descubrir Zaragoza y Badajoz.
Y en San Sebastián luego Castellón
Llevo a Coruña dentro de mi corazón
Quiero un amanecer en Salamanca
Y en Valladolid quiero buscar amor
Ver ciudad real, luego Badajoz
Pensare en la gente a la que siempre quiero yo
Madrid te dejaré y en invierno volveré
The lyrics of Vitalic's El Viaje describe a person who is tired of their job and finds themselves feeling lost and unable to continue. They decide to leave their job and pursue a journey, with a desire to see the world and find renewed purpose. The singer dreams of embracing the world with open arms, seeking the comfort of the sun and the people they love, and finding themselves on a journey of discovery that takes them from Madrid to the south of Spain and beyond, exploring different cities and regions along the way.
The lyrics of El Viaje suggest a deep sense of longing and dissatisfaction with the way things are, with the singer feeling trapped and suffocated by their everyday life. The journey they embark upon is a means of escape, a way of seeking out excitement and adventure, and of finding themselves in the process. As they travel, they think of the people they love and the places that they long to be, and they find happiness in the beauty of the world around them. Ultimately, the song is about the transformative power of travel, and the joy that can come from breaking free and seeing the world with fresh eyes.
