Bala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Compro por allá algo dentro
Sé que la vida seguirá y me queda una luego
Qué poca voluntad pero que sobra miedo
Él quiere rellenar todo con aire fresco
Una nave cósmica brutal conyuga los elementos
Observa la verdad flotando todo el tiempo
Algo se mueve dentro de mí
Algo está dentro
Algo se mueve dentro de mí
Algo esta noche, noche
Algo se mueve dentro de mí
Algo esta noche, noche
Algo se mueve dentro de mí
Algo esta noche, noche
Siento que algo va mal
Nunca más seremos tres
La conciencia dentro de él
Le conoce bien
The lyrics to Bala's song "Vitamina" deal with themes of compromise, desire, fear, and the difficulty of navigating life's challenges. The opening lines express a willingness to compromise and a desire for fulfillment. The singer acknowledges that they sometimes buy things impulsively ("Compro por allá algo dentro"), but ultimately they know that life will continue and they still have time to find what they truly want.
The following lines express a sense of self-doubt and caution, as the singer notes their lack of willpower and abundance of fear. The next lines shift focus to a third party ("Él"), who is described as wanting to fill their life with fresh air and cosmic energy. This image of a cosmic vessel combining different elements is juxtaposed with the harsh realities of life ("Maldita gravedad y maldito dinero") and the weight of responsibility that comes with it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Algo se mueve dentro de mí" ("Something is moving inside of me") four times, building in intensity and adding the phrase "algo está dentro" ("something is inside") on the second repetition. The lines "Nunca más seremos tres / La conciencia dentro de él / Le conoce bien" ("We will never be three again / The consciousness inside of him / Knows it well") suggest a sense of loss or change, with the singer acknowledging that they will never again be the same as they were before. The lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways, but overall they convey a sense of uncertainty and the struggle to find meaning and hope amidst life's challenges.
