FRÍO
Centinela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Luz que quema con mirar
El sudor de mi piel
Subo y caigo sin poder
Controlar la verdad

Poco queda en mi interior
Solo restos de calor
Algo me despertará
Y con calma me dirá
Soy tu pobre corazón

No se qué me va a pasar
Ni si lo quiero evitar
Me cuesta respirar
Y lo cierto es que da igual
Es que es esto, mi final

Qué le debo, yo al infierno
Que me muero en este sueño
Que ha pasado con mi cuerpo
Ya no siento nada

Qué le debo, yo al infierno
Que me muero en este sueño
Que ha pasado con mi cuerpo
Ya no siento nada

Qué le debo, yo al infierno
Que me muero en este sueño
Que ha pasado con mi cuerpo
Ya no siento nada

Qué le debo
Qué, me muero en este sueño
Que ha pasado
Con mi cuerpo

Todo se empieza a nublar
Y no sé donde estoy




Este frío llega a ser
Algo por lo que vivir

Overall Meaning

In Centinela's song Frío, the singer describes a feeling of being consumed by an intense light that burns through their skin and causes them to lose control of their emotions ("Luz que quema con mirar / El sudor de mi piel / Subo y caigo sin poder / Controlar la verdad"). The singer feels as though their soul has been drained out of them and all that is left is a residual warmth that is barely perceptible. Despite feeling numb and detached from their own body, the singer has a sense that something will soon wake them up and guide them through their struggles ("Algo me despertará / Y con calma me dirá / Soy tu pobre corazón").


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more and more fatalistic about their situation. They are unsure of what will happen to them next and feel as though they cannot control the outcome ("No se qué me va a pasar / Ni si lo quiero evitar / Me cuesta respirar / Y lo cierto es que da igual / Es que es esto, mi final"). The idea of death seems to loom large in their mind, and they are resigned to their fate ("Qué le debo, yo al infierno / Que me muero en este sueño / Que ha pasado con mi cuerpo / Ya no siento nada"). Despite the bleakness of their circumstances, the singer finds a sense of purpose in the chill that overcomes them, seeing it as something worth living for ("Este frío llega a ser / Algo por lo que vivir").


Overall, Frío is a haunting and introspective song about surrendering to an uncertain future and finding meaning in the face of adversity. It speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with difficult emotions and trying to make sense of our place in the world.
