Luces
Babasуnicos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No se que me hablan de rock & roll
Esa impostura barata es solo pose e imitacion
Sáquense caretas callense profetas
Oigan un cometa gritar
Arrogante rock
Y solo pienso que quiero mas
Me dicen esto es a fondo
Pero no hablo de velocidad
Cagón, cagón, cagón te vas de luces
Cagón, cagón, cagón
Cagón, cagón, cagón te vas de luces
Cagón, cagón, cagón
The lyrics of Babasónicos's song "Luces" explore the concept of rock and roll and its authenticity. The opening line, "No se que son esas luces" (I don't know what those lights are), sets the tone for the song, expressing uncertainty and confusion. The following lines, "No se que me hablan de rock & roll / Esa impostura barata es solo pose e imitacion" (I don't know what they're talking to me about rock & roll / That cheap imposture is only pose and imitation), suggest that there is a lack of genuine rock and roll being represented or communicated through the lights and performances.
The chorus, "Cagón, cagón, cagón te vas de luces" (Coward, coward, coward, you're going with the lights) repeats twice, thereby creating an anthemic feeling. The use of the word "cagón" (coward) can be interpreted in various ways, such as suggesting that some artists are inauthentic, or perhaps that the music industry is becoming commercialized.
Overall, "Luces" is a commentary on the state of the music industry and the role that performers play in upholding the authenticity of rock and roll. The song questions what is real and what is fake, and ultimately calls for a return to genuine creativity and passion as the driving forces behind music.
