Clean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dicen que estamos locos y cambiamos los colores
Y no prendimos los motores
Los golpes no me duran sino tengo moretones
Ojalá que se mejoren
Dicen que estamos locos y cambiamos los colores
Y no prendimos los motores
Los golpes no me duran sino tengo moretones
Si a usted le duele mejor que se mejóre
Bajamos la escalera para hablar con el de afuera y
Para salir de la pega
Seguimos en candela aunque algunos no me quieran
Mis temas son la cera que depilan a tu mujerzuela
Nos queda poco
Sino me toca no la tóco, sino quiere foto no la enfóco
Si me quiere roto yo la corto como todos mis cortos
Siempre como el orto
En segundos me quiere como Compay
Me quieren todos mis ñeris asique baby dont cry
Me quieren como las paredes quieren al sprite
Me quieren en el sur, en el hood y en el west side
En segundos me quiere como Compay
Me quieren todos mis ñeris asique baby dont cry
Me quieren como las paredes quieren al sprite
Me quieren en el sur, en el hood y en el west side
Dicen que estamos locos y cambiamos los colores
Y no prendimos los motores
Los golpes no me duran sino tengo moretones
Ojalá que se mejoren
Dicen que estamos locos y cambiamos los colores
Y no prendimos los motores
Los golpes no me duran sino tengo moretones
Si a usted le duele mejor que se mejóre
Captamos la señal y esta muy lejos la antena
Ya lo dicen los pibes los problemas se los rema
Vivir en un loquero me hizo ser lo que no era
La birra mas fresquita va a salir de mi heladera
Memoria tengo pero me puedo olvidar
Veneno con veneno se borró con alical
La bata va de cuba y yo de bata miro el mar
Debatan que le encanta, ya me fui de ese lugar
Cuentos de siempre se que muestra Notre-dam
Flashaste con pibitas y yo ignoro la madam
Para la carne pan no fabulo con faisan
No miento ni comparo voy de doping con mi clan
Rompimos el copete y nos quedamos sin sprite
Vamos de chino samurai
Las moscas no me flotan porque yo les tiro Raid
Boom biri bay bay
Dicen que estamos locos y cambiamos los colores
Y no prendimos los motores
Los golpes no me duran sino tengo moretones
Ojalá que se mejoren
Dicen que estamos locos y cambiamos los colores
Y no prendimos los motores




Los golpes no me duran sino tengo moretones
Si a usted le duele mejor que se mejóre

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Clean's song "Clean" seem to be describing the mindset of somebody who is misunderstood and viewed as crazy by the outside world. They talk about how they "changed colors" and didn't start their engines, implying that they are different from the norm and don't follow the usual path. However, they also mention that their "bruises" don't last unless they have real ones, indicating that they are resilient and won't let words bring them down. There's a sense of "us against them" with the line "Seguimos en candela aunque algunos no me quieran", suggesting that they have a group of people who support them even when others don't.


Later in the song, the lyrics mention the difficulties of living in a "madhouse" and how it shaped them into who they are. There's a reference to forgetting things but also to forgetting toxicity ("Veneno con veneno se borró con alical"), perhaps indicating a desire to move on from past negative experiences. The lyrics also touch on some mundane aspects of life, like having cold beer in the fridge and dealing with flies. The overall message seems to be one of resilience and pride in being different, even if others don't understand.

It’s too bad they only released two albums before joining other legendary bands. The Buggles were unique and both guys are multitalented.

@AdamBHarrisHarpist

Great quote from Trevor Horn, "we were pop stars that became rock stars'

@classicguitarfan8

Their 2nd album was actually released after Drama (and it was mostly a TH project)

@RubUOutC

Have a listen to the Suburban Ghosts album by DBA - a Downes project. It’s magic all the way through

@Thomasmemoryscentral

Say David, can you hear this music resembling a prototype of the sound Billy Idol got with Rebel Yell? The prechorus I believe especially with Geoffrey Downes doing the work it out backing vocals resembles Rebel Yell

@laurence.MusicAndSights

​@Thomasmemoryscentral yep you are ride, as I am a Billy Idol subscriber ..not a copycat of Trevor Horn prophetic talents. BTW my favourite album of Billy Idol is CYBER PUNK, so underrated but visionnary...ugly reality now. Greetings from France

Trevor horn is the reason why I put a bunch of stickers up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that just say, “The Buggles we’re an underrated band.”

This is the hill I am willing to die upon.

@Danimal1577

Trevor Horn is a genius. Everyone who loves music needs to know about this man

@aebhosor4835

Yeah, he's an awesome producer and musician

@michaelkaram9930

Equally as important Geoff Downes check out his extensive work with Asia
