Esperando En El Metro
Boikot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En la calle, chaval, hace frío y es de noche
Y se escuchan sirenas al pasar
Esperando en el metro hasta que salga el sol
O en la oficina del paro, que ahí mutilan promesas
Has soportado castigos, aún vendrán más
Que siga la lluvia cayendo hasta decir adiós, decir adiós
Qué bien se ve desde la ventana
Qué bien se ve en televisión
Ahora sigo esperando en un callejón
Algo no tiene sentido y lo vas a pagar
Sigo saliendo de noche, los sueños de cartón
Oculto siempre en el metro hasta decir adiós, decir adiós
Qué bien se ve desde la ventana
Qué bien se ve en televisión
Qué bien se ve desde la ventana
Qué bien se ve en televisión
Ahora sigo esperando alguna ocasión
Tal vez sea temprano para decir adiós
Sigo soñando en mi barrio o en cualquier lugar
Algo frío se sientes cuando alguien se va, se va
Esperando en el metro hasta que salga el sol
En la calle, chaval, hace frío y es de noche
Y se escuchan sirenas al pasar
"Esperando En El Metro" by Boikot speaks to the difficult realities of waiting for a brighter future while facing ongoing struggles and uncertainty. The song opens with the singer waiting for the subway and enduring the cold and darkness of the night while they hear the sound of sirens pass by. The repetition of waiting for the sun to rise emphasizes the waiting game played by those who have little choice but to wait for change.
The next verse emphasizes how the perspective from the windows of those in power contradicts the experience of those waiting for a brighter future. The singer continues to wait, this time in an alleyway, feeling that something does not make sense and hoping that those responsible will face consequences. The dreams of those who face such struggles every day are compared to mere cardboard in the face of reality.
