Caktus
6 Voltios Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No lo vés?, yo ya no veo la realidad,
No lo vés? nos salimos de esta realidad
Vimos pescadores y una cueva,
No nos cansamos de caminar
No lo ves?, yo ya no veo la realidad,
No lo ves? nos salimos de esta realidad
Ese cactus me hizo alucinar,
Pero yo soy karma y me llega al pincho,
La naturaleza me castigó
Y sobre mí, sus bichos botó.
Vimos una piscina y muchas luces,
Cara de gente en los cerros una vez más
No lo vés?, yo ya no veo la realidad,
No lo vés? nos salimos de esta realidad
Malditos jode jode, déjenme jatear
No lo ves? esa noche nadie pudo jatear
No lo ves? nos salimos de esta realidad
Ese cactus me hizo alucinar,
Pero yo soy karma y me llega al pincho,
La naturaleza me castigó
Y sobre mí, sus bichos botó.
Ese cactus nunca lo debí tomar,
Ese cactus me hizo buitrear.
The song "Caktus" by 6 Voltios describes a group of friends going on a camping trip and getting lost in the moment, losing touch with reality. The first verse talks about how they went camping to have fun and escape the reality they live in. The second verse mentions seeing fishermen and a cave but still walking, unable to see reality. The chorus repeats how they are outside of reality and cannot see it.
The third verse describes their encounter with a cactus that made the singer hallucinate, but realizing that they are karma and must suffer the consequences of their actions. They were punished by nature as bugs landed on them. The next verse talks about seeing a pool and lights as people talked in the hills, still, unable to see the reality. The chorus repeats the idea of being outside of reality.
The final verse admits that the cactus should never have been taken, and it made the singer act like a scavenger or a vulture. The song's message is to enjoy life but also stay grounded in reality, so we are not lost in our own world.
