Imagine a crystal-clear lake suspended in the sky, a place where hurt can dissolve and new feelings can sparkle. In Lago En El Cielo Gustavo Cerati paints that dreamscape with poetic contrasts: water cools fire, softness meets hardness, and time slips away like sand through open fingers. The singer invites his partner to go slowly so they can truly find each other, leaving behind the mirages of past pain and the loneliness that sometimes rushes him forward.
Cerati’s gift of “a lake in the sky” is a metaphor for healing love. It is a refuge where old mistakes sink to the bottom and sensations never felt before rise to the surface. By recognizing the marks of how deeply the other has loved and lost, he offers a gentle promise: together they can shake off even the most solid sadness and answer every call for connection. The song is a tender, atmospheric celebration of taking things at the right pace, trusting vulnerability, and creating a brand-new emotional landscape where both can finally breathe easy.
