Realidad
Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quiero escapar de este lugar
las horas van despacio
sin esperar una eternidad
para ver los resultados.
Como me dices que yo
nunca te podría perdonar,
Deja que todas las cosas
están en su lugar
si a ti no te hacen daño,
sólo déjate llevar por tu Realidad
no te apegues al ayer
sólo hoy es realidad.
(coro)
Si no eres tu
alguien más lo será,
si no es aún otro día será.
Sólo déjate llevar por tu Realidad
no te apegues al ayer
sólo hoy es realidad.
(coro)
Otro día será...
In Benny Ibarra's song Realidad, the singer is longing to escape from their current circumstances, feeling trapped in a slow-moving existence that seems to stretch on eternally without any visible results. They feel as though they are being held back by someone else's words, perhaps an accusation that they could never forgive or let go of, and they challenge them to point out where they have gone wrong. The singer implores the listener to let things fall into place and accept the reality of today instead of clinging to the past.
The chorus repeats the idea that if something isn't meant to be, then someone else will take their place or another opportunity will arise. The song encourages the listener to surrender to their reality, not be tied down by what has already happened, and let tomorrow take care of itself.
The lyrics are poignant and relatable, speaking to the human desire to escape the mundane and fleeting nature of life, urging us to embrace the present moment with open arms. The song's message is one of hope and trust in the natural flow of life.
