Caramelos de Cianuro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que es el agua y que es la sal
Soy tan solo una ola que
Vino se rompió y después se fue
Si alguna huella quedó
Seguramente el tiempo la borró
Porque las olas siempre vienen
Porque el mar no se detiene
Yo no soy el Sol
Que es la luz y es el calor
Soy tan solo un resplandor
Que aun no ha brillado cuando ya se apagó
Y aunque tu luz y la mía
Son sólo un punto de energía
Generalmente los destellos
Mientras más cortos más bellos
Ni el Mar, ni el Sol
Ni la brisa que acaricia tu cara
Ese no soy yo
Ni el Mar, ni el Sol
La melodía que cantas cada mañana
No soy yo
Alguna vez pensé en lo que vendrá después
Pues nada puede evitar que el Mar se seque, y el Sol se apagará
Ya que es igual para el Mundo cien mil años y un segundo
Porque la vida es sólo un grito, porque nada es infinito
The song "El Mar" by Caramelos de Cianuro is a thoughtful composition about one's true identity and place in the world. The lyrics explore the idea that we are all just fleeting moments in the grand scheme of things. The first verse compares the singer's existence to that of a wave in the ocean. They are not the ocean itself, but just a small part of it that comes and goes. Any trace that they leave behind will eventually be erased by time, as the waves continue to come and go. The second verse continues this idea, comparing the singer to a fleeting spark of light in the universe. They are not the sun itself, just a small piece of it that shines briefly before fading away. The song then concludes by stating that the singer is not the sea, not the sun, and not even the melody that someone sings in the morning. They are just a small part of the universe, one that will eventually fade away into nothingness.
The song's message is a poignant and powerful one. It encourages the listener to reflect on their own existence and the fleeting nature of life. The song is a reminder that we are all just small parts of the universe, and that nothing lasts forever. The lyrics are simple and poetic, making the message all the more impactful. The song's melancholic melody adds to the overall feeling of wistful introspection.
