Vaya a la Cárcel
Camellos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Los desconocidos no ofrecen caramelos, ah, ah
Por qué ya no hay gente, gente con gafas?
Y qué le ha pasado al cine español?
Quién ha robado todas las abejas?
Ya no hay tatuajes como los de antes
Eso era supervivir, ahora sobrevivo
Ya no se puede hacer bromas
Ahora todo es vaya a la cárcel
Actores de treinta en el instituto, ah, ah
Joder, qué recuerdo de preservativos
Y cedés copiados
Y drogas legales para concentrarte
Los tatuajes eran mejor antes
Por qué ya no hay gente, gente con gafas?
Y quién le ha quitado la letra al himno?
Brujas, soles, duendes, tribales
Eso era supervivir, ahora sobrevivo
Ya no se puede hacer bromas
Ahora todo es vaya a la cárcel
The lyrics of Camellos's song "Vaya a la Cárcel" reflect on the changes and nostalgia that the singer feels towards the past decades. The first verse talks about growing up in the 90s and missing out on the 80s, as well as the absence of unknown people offering candy, highlighting the loss of innocence and trust in society. The chorus questions why there are no longer people with glasses around, what happened to Spanish cinema, who stole all the bees (possibly referring to a decline in nature), and why tattoos are not the same as they used to be.
The second verse brings up actors playing teenagers in their thirties, recalling a sense of inconsistency in movies, along with memories of condoms and copied CDs. The reference to legal drugs to enhance concentration may suggest the increasing use of medication for cognitive purposes in contemporary times. The verse then reiterates the decline in tattoo quality and questions who removed the lyrics from the national anthem.
Overall, the lyrics of "Vaya a la Cárcel" convey a sense of disillusionment with modern society and a longing for the past. It reflects on the changes in culture, music, cinema, and societal norms, juxtaposing them with a nostalgic view of a simpler and more genuine time.
