Clonazepбn Y Circo
Andrйs Calamaro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perdimos estabilidad
No sabemos de que lado
Vamos a quedar parados
Se agotó lo natural
Mentimos una vez más
No cantamos la verdad
En nuestra vida real
Siempre fuimos decadentes

Tuvimos la libertad
Apretada entre los dientes
Alguien cantó no va más
Con los párpados pegados

Por un sueño postergado
Nos cansamos de luchar
Demasiada camiseta
Y cada vez menos gambeta
La sonrisa cuesta más
De que país estoy hablando
Las neuronas van marchando
Mucho traje de fajina
Y con el precio que tiene
Éste lugar me conviene
Gente fina, delincuente
Algunos ya diputados

Y brindo por nosotros
Dos tarados que les pagamos
Antes pelo, ahora gente
Antes lucha ahora circo
Antes pan, ahora clonazepán
Pastillas la última esperanza negra
Podés pedirle pastillas a tu suegra
No me digas la verdad, no me mientas
Ya me dí cuenta que no es lo que era
De eso se dá cuenta cualquiera

Antes o después de las rosas
Ves a través de las cosas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Andrés Calamaro's song Clonazepán Y Circo describe a loss of stability and uncertainty about where to stand. The natural state of things has been exhausted, and the singer is admitting to lying and not being truthful about their real life. The song refers to a dream that has been postponed, and the struggle seems to have taken a toll on the singer. The smile is harder to come by, and the neurons seem to be fading away. The singer's country may be suffering from economic and political corruption, with people in power who have questionable backgrounds. The chorus talks about the before and after of the singer's life, how things used to be different, and how now it's all a circus and pills have become the last black hope. The singer seems to be aware of the truth and has become disillusioned with the current state of affairs.
