From the recording Unsolved Puzzles
This is a song about control and freedom. The term “Degrees of Freedom” in mechanical systems is the number of possible translations and rotations of independent components in space. It is important in analysis and design of a system in many fields of engineering. This term makes me think of freedom in life. Freedom is supposed to be a good thing, but complete freedom in some circumstances makes people feel lost, lonely and abandoned. Even if people think they are free to control their own lives, however, life seems to move on with a certain trajectory.
Lyrics
En espacio somos puntos aislados
En todas dimensiones
nos sentimos solitarios
Con más restricción o no
sofocado o abandono
En realidad es
sólo un cuerpo de huesos heridos
En un laberinto hay único camino sin atajos
como en un remolino
Andas, andas, andas
Corres, corres, corres
Te mueves, mueves, mueves
Giras, giras, giras, giras
Estás en el mismo lugar
Ya que la vida es gas
no se puede controlar
Y quiero poner la fuerza hacia
la verdad y libertad
Andas, andas, andas
Te mueves, mueves, mueves
Corres, corres
Andas, andas, andas
Corres, corres, corres
Te mueves, mueves, mueves
Giras, giras, giras, giras
