“Similares” invites us into the moment when two wandering souls recognize themselves in each other. The song begins with the narrator feeling lost in a labyrinth of doubts and dusty memories, longing to change her life. Out of the blue, someone arrives with calm footsteps and honest eyes, mirroring her own complicated spirit. This instant connection sparks awe: they are so similar that peace and war, freedom and captivity, suddenly coexist in harmony.
Their likeness becomes a shield against fear. Realizing they share the same mix of courage and tenderness, they dare to take leaps without a safety net, trusting that the other’s arms will catch them. Together they breathe life into what was inert, turning kisses and gentle gestures into promises of protection. “Similares” ultimately celebrates how finding a kindred spirit can transform uncertainty into strength, vulnerability into togetherness, and ordinary moments into something wonderfully extraordinary.
