Camellos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A los cuarenta, seguro, me quito.
Es fin de semana, lo pide el plan.
Qué tendrá de malo ser genial?
Y ahora, qué?
No sé.
Déjame ver.
Que no me grabes.
Que no me rayes.
No es para tanto, estás exagerando.
Y ahora, qué?
No sé.
Déjame ver.
Déjame ver.
Antes te evitaba, ahora te busco.
Antes lo evitaba, ahora lo busco.
Antes te evitaba, ahora te busco.
Antes lo evitaba, ahora lo busco
Llevo la semana cuesta abajo.
He aparcado contra un muro.
Pero, qué es lo que quieres para vivir?
Cuando llevas cinco días sin poder dormir.
Y ahora, qué?
No sé.
Déjame ver.
Déjame ver.
Que no me grabes.
Que no me rayes.
No es para tanto, estás exagerando.
Y ahora, qué?
No sé.
Déjame ver.
Déjame ver.
Antes te evitaba, ahora te busco.
Antes lo evitaba, ahora lo busco.
Antes te evitaba, ahora te busco.
Antes lo evitaba, ahora lo busco
Todo este tiempo, os lo agradezco.
Os agradezco todo este tiempo.
The song "Adicciones" by Camellos explores the themes of insomnia, self-reflection, and the complexity of human desires. The lyrics express the singer's struggle with sleep deprivation, suggesting that they have not been able to get any sleep for the past five days. This lack of rest is likely taking a toll on their mental and physical well-being, causing them to feel exhausted and drained.
At the age of forty, the singer hopes to overcome their current state and find a way to alleviate their insomnia. They acknowledge that it is the weekend and feel that the occasion calls for some kind of escape or indulgence. They question what is wrong with seeking something extraordinary or brilliant as a temporary relief from their troubles.
The uncertainty and confusion in the lyrics are evident as the singer repeatedly questions themselves and asks to be allowed to see or understand something. They seem conflicted about their actions or thoughts, requesting that no one records or criticizes them as they express their feelings. They feel that others may perceive their struggles as insignificant or exaggerated.
In the latter part of the song, the lyrics delve into deeper introspection. The singer shares that they have been spiraling downward throughout the week and metaphorically compares it to parking against a wall. This symbolizes their feeling of being trapped or stuck in a difficult situation. They ponder what it takes to truly live when one has been deprived of sleep for five consecutive days.
The repetition of the phrase "antes te evitaba, ahora te busco" (before I avoided you, now I seek you) suggests a change in the singer's attitude or behavior towards someone or something. They used to avoid it, but now they actively seek it out. This shift could signify a growing dependency or addiction to an activity, substance, or even a person.
In the final lines of the song, the singer expresses gratitude to the people around them. They appreciate the support they have received during this challenging time, acknowledging that their friends or loved ones have stood by them. This gratitude implies a sense of recognition and appreciation for those who have helped them through their struggles.
