Poco a Poco
Ciudadano Toto & Adicta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Poco a poco empiezo a desatarme
¿Dónde está la ropa que dejé?
¿Dónde está la falla en esta historia?
¿Cuál es el por qué de tenerte lejos?

¿Cuándo vas a acordarte de mí?
Tengo poco que contar
y pedir que ya no cuentes conmigo
(soy un tanto egoísta)

¿Cuándo vas a acordarte de mí?
sería bueno confesar
que los dos ya quedamos muy, muy lejos
y que cada tanto te extraño

Saco de una caja algunas cartas
quiero contestarlas otra vez




cuántas oraciones sin sentido
quedan al leer lo que escribí

Overall Meaning

These lyrics depict a sense of longing and confusion in a relationship that has gone sour. The singer begins by expressing their gradual process of unraveling and letting go, symbolized by asking where their clothes are, metaphorically representing their lost identity or sense of self within the relationship. They also question the flaws in the story of their relationship and wonder why they are kept apart.


The recurring question of when the other person will remember them indicates the singer's desire to be remembered, acknowledged, and missed by their former partner. Despite having little to say or ask for, they selfishly hope that the other person no longer relies on them. This implies a sense of frustration and a need for personal space.


The lyrics further reveal that both parties have moved on and are now distant from each other. The singer confesses that occasionally they still miss the other person, indicating a lingering emotional attachment or nostalgia for what once was. This highlights the complexity of emotions associated with the end of a relationship, where there can be a simultaneous desire to move on and a longing for what was lost.


In the final lines, the singer takes out some old letters and expresses a wish to respond to them. This suggests a desire to revisit and understand the past, even though the prayers or emotions expressed in those letters may no longer hold any significance. It portrays a longing to make sense of the past, perhaps as a way to find closure or gain clarity on what went wrong in the relationship.
