La Marea
Budaya Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inalcanzable como el cielo
Pero real como este anhelo
Hoy me consume la idea
Tanto dilema marea
Inalcanzable como el cielo
Pero real como este anhelo
Hoy me concibe la idea
Que me lleve la marea

No quiero que desaparezca
to’ lo que me dejas ver
Armemos algo de esas piezas
Menos lo que va a joder

Las yemas de estas manos
Ya han memorizado
Toda toda esa belleza
Toda tu naturaleza de ser

Ser….

Inalcanzable como el cielo
Pero real como este anhelo
Hoy me consume la idea
Tanto dilema marea
Inalcanzable como el cielo
Pero real como este anhelo
Hoy me concibe la idea
Que me lleve la marea

Pahua

Se para el tiempo lo hago yo
El reloj ahora está a mi favor
Acercándome a la playa
El límite ya no pinta su raya

Me siento contenta, poderosa
Recostada al lado de la sombra
Exfoliándome asperezas
Para que los poros respiren las olas
Siento los rayos en mi cara despierta
Me recuerda lo bueno de las metas
Esta bien encontrar respuestas
Cada vez me relajo un poquito más
Me relajo, un poquito más
Me relajo, me relajo

Coro

Inalcanzable como el cielo
Pero real como este anhelo
Hoy me consume la idea
Tanto dilema marea
Inalcanzable como el cielo
Pero real como este anhelo
Hoy me concibe la idea
Que me lleve la marea

Las yemas de estas manos
Ya han memorizado

Toda toda esa belleza
Toda tu naturaleza de ser

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Budaya's song "La Marea" convey a sense of longing and desire for something unattainable yet real. The lines "Inalcanzable como el cielo, Pero real como este anhelo" (Unreachable like the sky, but real like this longing) express the contradictory nature of the singer's feelings. They acknowledge that what they desire may seem impossible to reach, like the vastness of the sky, but at the same time, the longing within them is unquestionably genuine.

The chorus repeats the idea that the "idea" or longing consumes the singer. The phrase "Tanto dilema marea" (So many dilemmas like the tide) suggests that these conflicting emotions and desires are like the ebb and flow of the ocean tide, constantly pulling the singer back and forth.

The second verse introduces the idea of not wanting things to disappear, wanting to piece things together, and the importance of accepting oneself, metaphorically represented by the hands memorizing all the beauty and nature of being. The mention of "ser" (to be) emphasizes the importance of embracing one's true self.

Overall, "La Marea" explores the internal struggles of desire and the inescapable pull of conflicting emotions. It highlights the longing for something unattainable yet real, and the importance of accepting oneself in the midst of these dilemmas.
