Que La Vida
Coti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No siento el peso de años en la espalda
Si es que salté con la guitarra de la cuna
Que voy a hacer, no tengo cura
Menos ahora que me limpio solo
Menos ahora que me importa poco
Si las palabras vienen solas o ayudarlas que mas da
Si es que me matan sé bien adonde ir
Si me rescatan sabré a quien agradecer
Y si me desmayé alguna vez, la memoria no perdi
Y si me caí alguna vez, a los golpes aprendi aprendi
Que la vida que la vida
Que la vida no perdona
Te margina, te fascina
Te marea, te corona
Alguien me dijo que nada llega solo
Que las miradas no lo dicen todo
Que los tambores que hay adentro
Nunca dejan de sonar
Ni en el descuento
Y menos ahora que me limpio solo
Y menos ahora que me importa poco
Y elijo siempre malas compañias para salir a jugar
Hay que ganar
Que la vida
Que la vida no perdona, te margina, te fascina, te marea y te corona. These lyrics from Coti's song Que La Vida deal with reflection and introspection, highlighting the heavy burden that life can often be. The singer describes how he looks in the mirror and sees nothing, and doesn't feel the weight of the years on his back because he has been playing guitar since he was young. However, despite this lifelong passion, he feels that he is incurable.
The lyrics suggest a sense of apathy in the singer's attitude towards life. He mentions that he cares less about things now, and whether his words come naturally or with effort doesn't matter to him. However, he also suggests that he knows himself; he knows where he will go if he dies or who he will thank if he is rescued, and he has learned from his past failures. The chorus speaks of how life is unforgiving, and it can be both fascinating and overwhelming at the same time. It can make one feel left out while also giving them a sense of accomplishment. The lyrics illustrate the ups and downs of life and the fact that it is not always easy, but it is worth it.
