Olas gigantes
Dënver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dijiste vamos a nadar
Nunca he visto olas tan gigantes
Dijiste qué nos va a pasar
Y que todo va en bracear
Y hacías con los brazos
De manera circular

Y entonces nos lanzamos a nadar

Y las olas explotaban
Como si nos odiaran

Es que yo en ti confiaba más
Yo sólo seguía, sin más
Tu físico espectacular

Y entonces nos lanzamos a nadar
Y las olas explotaban
Como si nos odiaran

Y nos golpeaban sin piedad
Y yo braceaba y braceaba
No servía de nada, daba igual

Y entonces nos lanzamos a nadar
Y las olas explotaban
Como si nos odiaran

Así que simplemente me dejé llevar
Y ahí vi como pasabas
Toda doblada tu espalda, y no vi más
Y no vi más

No, no, no, no, no vi más
No, no, no, no, no vi más

Overall Meaning

In Dënver's song "Olas gigantes," the lyrics paint a picture of two individuals who are brave enough to go out to sea to swim in the midst of the largest waves they've ever seen. The singer conveys that they trusted and followed the other person completely, despite their own lack of experience or confidence. As they swam, the waves became increasingly violent and the singer struggled to keep up, only briefly glimpsing their companion's pain and struggle before losing sight of them entirely. The lyrics end with the singer giving up and allowing themselves to be carried by the waves, unable to do anything else.

This song speaks to the delicate balance between trust and self-preservation. The singer's reliance on their companion, who seems more confident and experienced in the moment, ultimately leads to disappointment and danger that could have been avoided. The waves that were initially exciting and awe-inspiring quickly become a life-threatening force that the two swimmers are unable to combat.

The lyrics also touch on the concept of mortality, and the fragility of life in the face of nature's power. Despite the fear and chaos of the situation, there is a stillness that comes over the singer as they allow themselves to be carried away by the waves. The moment is both terrifying and peaceful, highlighting the paradoxical nature of difficult experiences.
