Inteligencia Dormida
Pedropiedra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El doctor se confundiу
Dijo que yo era retrasado
Mi mamб se lo creyу
Pobre casi se muriу
Menos mal estaba equivocado
Luego fui creciendo
Me puse inteligente
En el colegio estaba un aсo adelantado
No habнa mбs que hacer que estar ahн sentado
Que fбcil era antes, llegar volando hasta el planeta Marte
Atravesando el cielo en una nave dibujada
Si no te despertaste, despuйs de que vinieron a avisarte
Por disfrutar lo bueno de quedarte en la cama
CORO
Es el sueсo de una inteligencia dormida
Que sueсa con vivir el dнa pero que no puede despertar
Es el sueсo de una inteligencia dormida
Que sueсa con vivir el dнa pero se resiste a despertar
En el dнa en que morн
El cura se confundiу
Dijo que yo era un gran hombre
La familia me llorу
Mirando una fotografнa
Hicieron un brindis en mi nombre
Solo me repito que a veces es fбcil olvidar de donde vienes y quien eres
Yo se lo que hice bien, yo se lo que hice mal
Tibia esta la cama
El sol pega en la ventana
Tengo sбbanas pegadas en la cara
ЎNo me quiero levantar!
ЎNo me quiero trabajar!
ЎNo quiero saber nada de nada!
Trбeme un espejo a ver si puedo reconocer a ese viejo que me estб mirando
Antes era como yo, pronto serй como el
Que fбcil era antes, llegar volando hasta el planeta Marte
Atravesando el cielo en una nave dibujada
Yo quiero despertarme, antes de que tъ vengas a avisarme
Y disfrutar lo bueno de salirme de la cama
Es el sueсo de una inteligencia dormida
Que sueсa con vivir el dнa pero que no puede despertar
Es el sueсo de una inteligencia dormida
Que sueсa con vivir el dнa pero se resiste a despertar
The song "Inteligencia Dormida" by Pedropiedra tells the story of a person's journey from being labeled as mentally challenged at birth to becoming highly intelligent and successful, yet struggling to overcome the inertia of their own comfortable existence. The lyrics describe an individual who, as a child, was initially labeled as mentally challenged by doctors, but fortunately, his mother did not believe this verdict. As he grew up, he became highly intelligent and advanced academically, but found himself unfulfilled due to the monotony of sitting in school day after day. He reminisces about the easier times of his childhood where he could go on imaginary adventures to far-off planets and stars.
As an adult, the individual finds himself struggling with the monotony of everyday life, unconsciously surrendering his intelligence to routine and comfort. He speaks candidly about the difficulty of getting out of bed in the morning, looking in the mirror, and not recognizing the old person staring back at him. He recognizes that it's easy to forget where he came from and to simply let life pass him by. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "es el sueño de una inteligencia dormida" (it's the dream of a sleeping intelligence) which refers to the concept that the person knows he is meant for something greater, yet is struggling to awaken his potential.
Overall, this song is a commentary on the societal struggles that gifted and intelligent individuals face when they are held back by their own complacency and comfort. It's an encouragement to awaken one's own intelligence and talents and to make the most of life.
