Muelle
Camellos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi amigo es mi padre
Y mi padre, mi padre es mi madre.
Y mi madre, mi madre es mi padre.
Cuando te echan siempre es viernes
Cuando te echan siempre es viernes
Y mi curro, mi curro es mi vida.
Y mi curro, mi curro es mi vida.
Si se acaba, si se acaba...
Haz balconing sin piscina, juega a muelle en la cocina.
Han saboteado el ponche.
En el afterwork nadie invita.
En el afterwork nadie invita.
Mi dinámica no era buena.
Ahora sufro, sufro condena.
Mi dinámica no era buena.
Ahora sufro, sufro condena.
Zona de comfort... sal del baño.
Zona de comfort, cómo te echo de menos.
Mira bien recetas con techo.
Que esta noche tú cenas eso.
Mira bien recetas con techo, que esta noche...
Haz balconing sin piscina, juega a muelle en la cocina.
Han saboteado el ponche.
Haz balconing sin piscina, juega a muelle en la cocina.
Han saboteado el ponche.
Haz balconing sin piscina, juega a muelle en la cocina.
Esto hay que celebrarlo...
The lyrics of Camellos' song "Muelle" explore themes of family, work, and the pursuit of happiness. The song starts with the repetition of the lines "Mi amigo es mi padre" and "Mi padre, mi padre es mi madre," which can be interpreted as expressing the deep bond between friends who are like family to each other. It emphasizes the importance of those relationships in our lives.
The following lines "Cuando te echan siempre es viernes, Y mi curro, mi curro es mi vida, Si se acaba, holocausto caníbal" capture the significance of work and its impact on one's life. It suggests that when we are fired from our job, it feels like the end of the world, as our work becomes everything to us. The phrase "holocausto caníbal" adds a sense of urgency and desperation, implying that losing a job can feel like a catastrophic event.
The chorus of the song, "Haz balconing sin piscina, juega a muelle en la cocina, Han saboteado el ponche," uses playful and metaphorical imagery to convey a sense of rebellion and frustration. "Balconing sin piscina" refers to the dangerous act of jumping off a balcony into a pool, symbolizing taking risks and challenging societal norms. "Juega a muelle en la cocina" suggests finding joy and excitement in unexpected places, like playing a game of "muelle" (a traditional children's game) in the kitchen. The phrase "Han saboteado el ponche" implies that someone has ruined the party or disrupted the plans.
Overall, the lyrics of "Muelle" convey a mix of longing, dissatisfaction, and a desire for more freedom and excitement in life. It reflects on the complexities of relationships, the pressures of work, and the need to break free from societal expectations and norms.
