Tomb
Adrià Puntí Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pots dir-li el sí amb un no
Un volc al cor, un crit d'amor
Tot fent un capgirell
Gira el llençol, l'amor ho vol
Gira, gira el vol
Fes el liró si és l'hora en punt
L'arc creix tort des de fa molts anys
Tomba tomba el tomb
Qui sap si dorm, dorm sota el pont
Qui sap si algú li ha fet el tomb
Tots fem el tomb, tots fem el tomb, tots fem el tomb
Gira el llençol, l'amor ho vol
Pots dir-li el no amb un sí
Baixant anades, pujant tornades
Tot lliscant del cel
L'arc creix tort des de fa molts anys
Tomba tomba el tomb
Qui sap si dorm, dorm sota el pont
Qui sap si algú li ha fet el tomb
Tots fem el tomb, tots fem el tomb, tots fem el tomb
The song "Tomb" by Adrià Puntí is a reflection on the different ways we experience love and the relationships we have with ourselves and others. The lyrics suggest that we can take different paths when it comes to love, and that we have the power to change direction at any time. The first verse states that we can "turn around" ("fer-li el tomb") a backflip ("un giravolt"), or say "yes" with a "no" ("Pots dir-li el sí amb un no"). The chorus talks about the different ways love can be experienced, and how it can turn us upside down ("Tot fent un capgirell"). The song suggests that love is unpredictable and requires us to be flexible, willing to change and adapt.
The second verse speaks to the different ways we can express our love, using metaphorical language to describe how love can be like a rollercoaster ride ("Gira el llençol, l'amor ho vol/Gira, gira el vol/Fes el liró si és l'hora en punt/A mitges dorm"), full of ups and downs. The bridge suggests that life itself is unpredictable ("L'arc creix tort des de fa molts anys/Tomba tomba el tomb"), and that we never know what's coming next. The song concludes with a final chorus that suggests that we all experience love and its twists and turns ("Tots fem el tomb, tots fem el tomb, tots fem el tomb").
Overall, "Tomb" is a song about the human experience of love, and the many ways it can influence our lives. It suggests that we should be open to change and new experiences, and that we can find strength in the unexpected twists and turns of life.
