3 Libras
Da Capo Players Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through
And you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind
The eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting
Just a little bit too much from the wounded
but I see, see through it all
See through, see you
'Cause I threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind
the Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me at all
The song "3 Libras" by Da Capo Players explores themes of disappointment, vulnerability, and invisibility within relationships. The opening lines "Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back" suggest that the singer has presented their true feelings to their partner, who has accepted them without much thought or consideration. The reference to "a million same" implies that this lack of attention is a pattern in their relationship, and the singer is feeling disappointed and overlooked.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy" to describe their partner's gaze, which seems to be a symbol of their emotional state. The repetition of "you don't see me" highlights the singer's feeling of invisibility, as their partner fails to realize the depth of their emotions. The final lines "Apparently nothing, apparently nothing at all" suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of their partner's inability to understand them.
Overall, the song speaks to the difficulty of communication and the pain that can arise when one partner feels unheard or unseen in a relationship. The metaphor of the fallen angel adds a layer of complexity, suggesting that both partners may be struggling with their own inner demons and emotional wounds.
Line by Line Meaning
Threw you the obvious
I offered you something that was easy to see or understand
And you flew with it on your back
You accepted what I offered you with enthusiasm and carried it with you everywhere
A name in your recollection
I am a memory that you haven't forgotten
Down among a million same
But among the countless other memories you have, I am just one of many
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
It's hard not to feel let down and ignored
When I look right through
To see you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me
Even though I can see you clearly, and you are vulnerable and unaware, you still don't notice me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind
The eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
But I gave you something obvious just to see if there's more to you than meets the eye - if you have a deeper, darker side to you
Here I am expecting
Just a little bit too much from the wounded
but I see, see through it all
See through, see you
I realize that I'm expecting too much from someone who is already hurting, but I can still see through your pain and see you for who you truly are
'Cause I threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind
the Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
I gave you something obvious to see what's really going on beneath the surface of your apparent angelic or tragic exterior
Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
But it seems like there's nothing there after all...
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me at all
Despite all my efforts, you still don't see me - not even a little bit

Letra
Entre copa y copa se acaba mi vida
Llorando borracho tu perdido amor
Que negros recuerdos me traen tus mentiras
como cuantas lágrimas una traición
Nomas por quererte deje yo a mi casa
Deje padre y madre por seguirte a ti
Nomas por tu culpa me undi en la desgracia ni
el cielo ni nadie se apiada de mi
(coro)x2
Traigo penas en el alma
que no las mata el licor
en cambio ella si me mata entre más borracho estoy
Quiera Dios que así te paguen
Con una traición igual
Pará cuando te emborraches tu sepas por quién llorar
