Baja El Suelo
Boikot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de todos modos hoy no tengo ganas.
No tengo miedo de abrir mi alma,
ni de portazos, ni de las patadas.
Hoy tengo rejas en mi ventana,
pero en mi vida tu ya no pintas nada.
Y volveré a ver el cielo,
Y tocaré de nuevo el viento,
y tú estarás diez metros bajo el suelo.
Y no me importa estar encerrada,
si hubiera sido yo no valdría nada.
Aún sigo viva, aguanté tus golpes
reventando en mis entrañas tu miseria.
Y volveré a ver el cielo,
y tú estarás diez metros bajo el suelo.
Y tocaré de nuevo el viento,
y tú estarás diez metros bajo el suelo.
Encontró la rabia,
igualó su miedo.
Ahora esta contenta,
ahora toca el cielo
Y volveré a ver el cielo,
y tú estarás diez metros bajo el suelo.
Y tocaré de nuevo el viento,
y tú estarás diez metros bajo el suelo.
The lyrics of Boikot's song "Baja El Suelo" are about overcoming abuse and finding the strength to move on from a toxic relationship. The singer starts by expressing their lack of motivation despite waking up in the morning. However, they also declare that they are no longer afraid to open up their soul or face physical abuse. The person who once had control and power over the singer is no longer relevant in their life, and although there may be bars on their window, they are free from the abuser's grasp.
The chorus then reinforces the idea that the singer will rise above their abuser and see the clear blue sky again. Meanwhile, the abuser will be ten meters under the ground. The singer does not mind being locked up because they still have their freedom and their life, something that the abuser likely never had. The next verses talk about the abuse that the singer experienced but ultimately they survived and are now strong enough to leave their abuser behind.
The final lines of the song celebrate the singer's newfound happiness and hope as they rise above their circumstances and touch the sky again, while their abuser is left buried beneath the earth.
