Bulldog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No ves lo bueno de los momentos
Chicas y chicos en sus casas
No morirán si no les pasan
Invierte ese tiempo un poco en vos...
Y no es, como tenerte frente a frente
Que es, en vivo, es diferente
Que es lo que pasa en tu rutina
Casi hipnotizado frente a un monitor
Ven, estamos mejor que un juego
No ves lo bueno de los momentos
Pasan los días y los meses
Y nada hay que te interese
Invierte ese tiempo un poco en vos
No se si esta bien
No se si esta mal conocerse
Mirando un televisor
No se si esta bien
No se si ya van a conocerse
Se vayan a conocer
Ven, pasemos un buen momento, vuelve...
The lyrics of Bulldog’s song “Vuelve” are about the negative impact of technology on human relationships. The song encourages listeners to put their phones and laptops away and invest time in building real, face-to-face relationships instead of being consumed by a cyber-based fake reality. The first stanza of the song speaks to the importance of investing time in oneself and developing real connections. The second stanza talks about how cyberamor (cyber-love) has infected our lives and left us hypnotized in front of our screens.
The chorus is a plea for people to return to real-life connections and interactions. The final stanza of the song speaks to the uncertainty of meeting someone in person when it’s so much easier to interact with them through technology. Despite this uncertainty, the singer encourages the person to take a chance and “come back” to a world where people can have good moments together.
Overall, the song is a critical commentary on the current state of human relationships and how technology has replaced real-life connections with superficial and meaningless virtual interactions.
