Description
The night feels like a lost lantern: the phone screen lights up, and immediately old photos, jokes, and wounds that I thought had been forgotten come to mind. The repeated ‘mami, ¿dónde está la luz?’ is not so much a question as a panicked flashback: there is laughter, resentment, and that very grenade of memories that shatters the silence at the most inopportune moment. The voice in the track seems to wander around the dark room, flipping through notifications and noticing how vulnerability looks in photos - imperfect, but honest; and in this there is a warm irony: the worse the shot, the more you like yourself. The search for a ‘beacon’ turns into a soft plea, a habit of turning to one's mother as a source of light, a point of support when the helmsman disappears. The whole song is like a diary entry written in the dim light: a little bit of complaining, a little bit of sarcasm, a lot of relentless desire to find the light and stop hiding behind the screen.
