Nos Quedamos Aca
Adrian Berra Lyrics

The lyrics in Adrián Berra's song Nos Quedamos Aca paint a vivid picture of a journey through nature and self-exploration. The imagery of "nubes de papel" (paper clouds) and "bosques casi derretidos" (almost melted forests) suggest a dreamlike state or altered reality. The line "Rasqueteando entre las piedras buscando el sentido" (scratching through the stones looking for meaning) implies a search for purpose or understanding in life. The singer and their companions seem to be lost, but nonetheless, continue on their journey. The line "Vislumbramos el camino vacío" (we glimpse the empty road) reveals their uncertainty and perhaps even a sense of aimlessness.

The second verse starts with an enigmatic Line "Cuando vuela un caballo se preguntan por que debe haber sido un rayo" which translates to "When a horse flies, they wonder why it must have been lightning." This surreal statement might allude to how rare and unexplainable phenomena sometimes challenge us to question our beliefs or reality. The following lines "Pues sino para que una alucinación no debe
Ser real es difícil ver a través del cristal" (because if not, why an hallucination shouldn't be real, it's hard to see through the glass) reinforce this idea, suggesting that perhaps what they are experiencing is not entirely a product of their imagination.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of camaraderie among the travelers despite their individual struggles. They are "Como en una colmena, cada cual con su pena" (like in a beehive, everyone with their troubles), yet they choose to stay together, insinuated by the recurring chorus "Nos quedamos acá" (we stay here). The last verse references life and death, as the singer describes the mystery of the moment before the scent of a flower and the beauty of sunlight on a cemetery. The metaphor of "espinas de algodón" (cotton thorns) among their memories could suggest that even in the most pleasant recollections, there can be hidden pain. The final line "Tormenta de menta Aclara y para" (mint storm clears and stops) could imply that the tumultuous journey is finally over.
