Rey Del Glam
Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
los ojos pintados ,
dos kilos de Rimmel ,
muy negros los labios
Te has quedado en el 73
con Bow y T-Rex.
Hombreras gigantescas
Glitter en el pelo
leopardo y cuero
Te has quedado en el 73
con Bow y T-Rex.
Eres el Rey del Glam,
nunca podrás cambiar
ajeno a otras modas
que vienen y van
porque tú, tú,
eres el Rey del Glam
The lyrics describe an individual who has remained faithful to the glam rock scene of the 1970s with their stiletto heels, black eyeshadow, and two kilos of black mascara. They are adorned with glittery accessories, large shoulder pads, leopard print and leather. They have refused to change with the times, remaining in the 70s with bands like T-Rex and Bow. The repeated refrain of "Eres el Rey del Glam" (You are the king of Glam) reinforces the idea that this person is the epitome of the glam rock era and cannot be swayed by current trends.
The song seems to be a celebration of staying true to oneself and not conforming to societal expectations. The King of Glam is praised for their authenticity and unwavering dedication to their personal style. The song highlights the importance of individuality and staying true to oneself, regardless of what is currently popular. It encourages listeners to embrace their own unique style and not be swayed by passing trends.
