Caer
Camila Moreno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No puedes tener lo que no existe
Mi mano se escapó de ti, no sé si pueda volver a ir porque me hundí en mi
Me hundí… me hundí
Caí, caí me atravesé..
No puedes tener lo que no existe (x2)
Mis muertos en agua
Caer, caer, Caer… (x2)
Me hundí, me hundí
The lyrics to Camila Moreno's song "Caer" delve into themes of loss, grief, and the struggle to move on. The first verse describes a dream in which the singer is flying through the mountains, unable to express their love to someone. However, they realize that "you can't have what doesn't exist," suggesting that perhaps their love was not reciprocated or that the relationship has already ended. This realization leads the singer to feel as though their hand has slipped from the other person's grasp, and they question whether or not they will be able to return.
The chorus repeats the phrase "caer" (to fall) multiple times, emphasizing the sense of loss and descent the singer feels. They describe feeling as though they have fallen and been pierced, suggesting that their pain and grief feel physical. The second verse includes the haunting line "mis muertos en agua" (my dead in water), which is open to interpretation but could be a symbol of the singer's past loves or relationships that have "drowned" and are no longer present in their life.
Overall, the song is a meditation on the inevitability of loss and the difficulty of letting go. The repeated use of "caer" and the feeling of physical descent in the chorus create a powerful sense of falling and being unable to stop, while the dream imagery in the first verse suggests a longing for something that may not be attainable.
