Salir
Extremoduro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
harta de tanta duda,
yo
de preguntarle al viento,
tú
¿qué donde conocí a la luna?
¿yo?
¿que en qué coños ocupo el tiempo?
- En Salir, beber, el rollo de siempre,
meterme mil rayas, hablar con la gente,
llegar a la cama y ...¡joder, que guarrada! sin tí.
Voy que ni toco el suelo y espantao hasta las nubes,
no sé si son tus besos o este tripi que me sube.
ya no me acuerdo de na, que todo éra de colores.
¿Dónde estárán los besos? - se los han quedao las flores.
Salir, beber, el rollo de siempre,
meterme mil rayas, hablar con la gente,
llegar a la cama y joder, que guarrada sin tí,
y al día siguiente...
Y al llegar a casa me saludan:
- ¡oye! ¿dónde vas cabrón?, ¿dónde te has metido?
- te aseguro que no he estao de más, que no he perdido el tiempo,
que lo he gastado en:
Salir, beber, el rollo de siempre,
meterme mil rayas, hablar con la gente,
llegar a la cama y ...¡joder, que guarrada! sin tí.
y al día siguiente...
* Para algunos vivir es galopar
un camino empedrado de horas,
minutos y segundos.
Yo más humilde soy
y sólo quiero que la ola que surge
del último suspiro de un segundo,
me transporte mecido
hasta el siguiente. *
* Extraido del libro de poemas "La mala gana" de Santos Isidro Seseña.
The lyrics to Extremoduro's song "Salir" explore the aftermath of a breakup and the singer's coping mechanisms. The song opens with the female subject expressing her fatigue with the constant doubt and uncertainty in their relationship, while the male protagonist is left questioning the wind for answers. The female asks him where he met the moon, which he responds to with the dismissive answer that he spends his time drinking and partying, getting high and talking to people, and then ending up in bed with someone else, without her.
The chorus repeats this destructive pattern of partying to forget and disregard the loss of his love. He describes feeling disconnected from reality as if he's flying, maybe from the high of drugs or the thrill of a hedonistic lifestyle. He admits to forgetting everything and everyone from his past, except for the memories of his past love. At the end of the song, he returns home and is met with skepticism from his acquaintances who question where he has been and what he has done. He reassures them that he hasn't wasted his time, having spent it the same way he always does - drinking and partying.
"Salir" is a powerful ballad about breakups, with poignant and evocative lyrics that paint a picture of heartbreak and pain. With its catchy chorus, it has become a classic song beloved by fans of the Spanish rock band Extremoduro. The song's popularity can also be attributed to its relatability, depicting the classic coping mechanisms of drinking and partying to forget, a pattern that many have experienced in the aftermath of a break-up.
