El Espejo

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No puedo verles sin mi
Me ayudan cuando estoy lejos
Y es tarde
Tienen mordidos mis huesos
Saben curarme y seguir
Me tienen guardado un hueco
Cuando no tengo respuestas
Cuando no se qué decir
Corriendo voy a su puerta
Y me dicen que si.
Me han enseñado los cuentos
Que cuento para dormir
Van de la mano del sueño
Que quiero
Juegan a verme pequeño
Siguen sintiéndolo así
Viven detrás de un espejo
Delante de mi
Cuando no tengo respuestas
Cuando no sé qué decir
Corriendo voy a su puerta
Y me dicen que si.
Cuando no tengo respuestas
Cuando no tengo muy claro lo que hay que decir
Corriendo voy a su puerta
Y me dicen que sí.
The lyrics of Íñigo Merino's song "El Espejo" explore the concept of having a support system or a personal reflection that helps the singer when they are feeling lost or distant. The mirror symbolizes this support system, as it reflects back the singer's image and offers assistance.
In the first verse, the singer says that these supportive figures live behind the mirror, suggesting that they are not physically present but still play a significant role in the singer's life. They cannot see themself without their presence, emphasizing their reliance on them for guidance and comfort.
The second verse delves into the power of these figures. They have a deep understanding of the singer's inner struggles and have the ability to heal and continue supporting them. This line implies that they hold a special place in the singer's heart, emphasizing their importance and connection.
The chorus emphasizes the reliance the singer has on these figures. When faced with uncertainty or a lack of answers, they run to their door seeking guidance. The repeated "me dicen que sí" (they tell me yes) signifies that these figures offer comfort and reassurance in times of confusion.
The third verse shifts to the singer's childhood. The figures behind the mirror have taught them the bedtime stories they share, which are accompanied by dreams. These stories and dreams serve as an escape and a source of comfort for the singer, highlighting the role of imagination and creativity in their life.
The fourth verse continues the exploration of the figures behind the mirror. They playfully see the singer as small and continue to view them in that way. This suggests that these figures understand and accept the vulnerable and childlike aspects of the singer's personality, providing a safe space for them to be themselves.
The chorus is repeated once again, emphasizing the reliance on these figures for guidance and reassurance. The final lines of the song express that even when the singer is unsure or unclear about what to say, they still run to the door of these figures, and they always say "yes." This suggests that these supportive figures will always be there for the singer, offering comfort and guidance in times of need.
