Carmín Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando las esperanzas se ven quebrantadas por la realidad
Cuando ya no hay en qué aferrarse
Cuando el arquetipo se derrumba
Cuando lo corrupto se nos plantea como un comienzo”
Confiar
Caer
La predicción no fue así No se cumplió
Asistiendo a la muerte de todo en lo que creíste

Derrumbe
Del confort
De la moral
Del bienestar
Del confort
De la moral

Y qué hay después?
Y cuál es el devenir?
Y QUÉ HAY DESPUÉS?
Confiar
Caer

Pararse
Y renacer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carmín's song "Detroit" reflect a sense of disillusionment and uncertainty when faced with the harsh realities of life. The opening line, "Cuando las esperanzas se ven quebrantadas por la realidad" (When hopes are shattered by reality), sets the tone for the rest of the song. It speaks to a moment when one realizes that there is nothing left to hold onto, when the archetype crumbles, and when corruption is presented as a new beginning.

The lyrics then transition to the theme of trust and falling, as indicated by the lines "Confiar, caer" (Trust, fall). The mention of unfulfilled predictions and witnessing the death of one's beliefs suggests a profound disappointment and loss. The subsequent repetition of "Derrumbe, del confort, de la moral, del bienestar" (Collapse, comfort, morality, well-being) further emphasizes this sentiment, highlighting the crumbling of stability, moral values, and contentment.

However, the song also hints at the possibility of renewal and resilience. The concluding lines urge the listener to trust, fall, get up, and be reborn, suggesting that there is still hope and potential for growth even in the face of adversity.

Overall, "Detroit" explores themes of disillusionment, loss, and the potential for renewal in the face of shattered hopes and corrupt realities.
