Azul
Buitres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ha comenzado la guerra
un segundo mas en tu piel
no mueras todavia
como en el cuarto de espejos
no mires a traves de mi
la distorsion es mi perro fiel
el filo anda buscandote
para estallar en mi ojo
azul hoy no es tu dia
porque una lagrima negra oohhh
el filo esta buscandote
para estallar en mi ojo
azul hoy no es tu dia
porque una lagrima negra.
The lyrics of Buitres's song Azul paint a vivid picture of a situation fraught with tension and impending danger, with references to war and the threat of violence. The phrase "ya no respira al caer" sets a somber tone, and hints at the possibility of death. The lyrics "ha comenzado la guerra" serve to further underscore the seriousness of the situation. The phrase "un segundo mas en tu piel" suggests a yearning for life and a desire to hold onto it for just a little longer, despite the danger.
The imagery in the lyrics is also notable. The reference to a "cuarto de espejos" creates a sense of disorientation and confusion, which is further emphasized by the lyric "no mires a traves de mi." The fact that "la distorsion es mi perro fiel" also adds to this sense of confusion, suggesting that reality itself is somehow warped or unreliable. This theme of uncertainty is continued with the lyric "hay voces en tu casa ahhhhhhh," which implies an invasion of personal space and a feeling of being threatened or watched.
The lyrics of Azul are thus a powerful statement on the human condition, reminding us of the fragility of life and the ever-present threat of violence and danger. However, they are also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring desire of individuals to hold onto life and persevere in the face of adversity.
