La Ventana
Cementerio Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pasa con el mar
Los miras bien, no tienen final
Todas esas voces
Buscando poder
Ahora están en un mismo lugar

Y el ventilador
En mi habitación
Vuela el almanaque
Pero el tiempo no pasó

Las paredes suben
En cualquier ciudad
Cuadros que se vuelven a colgar
El verano anuncia
Un otoño más
Tu estás bien, yo pierdo el control

Y este computador
Que es como el amor
Siempre que lo enciendo
Vuelve a dar el mismo error

Subió por las escaleras
Balanceando sus caderas
Caminó hacia la azotea
Y miró hacia las estrellas

Algún día al levantarnos
Todo está bien
Los pasos que avanzamos




Se vienen siempre
Y con el mismo pie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cementerio Club's song "La Ventana" explore the passing of time and the struggle to maintain a sense of control in life. The first verse describes the endless, powerful waves of the sea and the voices that seek to exert their own power. These voices are now all in one place, suggesting perhaps a sense of confinement or relinquishing of control. The second verse shifts to a more personal perspective, as the singer reflects on the passage of time in their own life. The ceiling fan in their room stirs up dust on the calendar, but time itself seems to stand still. The walls rise up in any city, and even though pictures may be taken down and put back up again, the seasons continue to change relentlessly. The singer's companion seems to be okay, but the singer feels like they are losing control.


The chorus describes the idea of being stuck in a repetitive cycle - like turning on a computer that always has the same error message, every time you try. The bridge introduces a new character to the story, who climbs up to the rooftop and gazes at the stars. This could be interpreted as an escape from the monotony and chaos of everyday life, a brief moment of transcendence. The final lines of the song suggest a longing for a sense of stability and predictability - the hope that one day when we wake up, everything will be okay and we'll keep moving forward.
