Delicada Violencia
De Saloon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sabes no quiero que me hables de amor
a mi me cambios me cambian los sentidos del dolor
hay confunciones que no carga el corazón
ya no
si tu vas a dejarme, sabes no habrá segunda parte
para mi lo mejor eres tu
para mi mujer eres tu
a mi me duele y para ti ya termino
es tan brutal e irreversible el tiempo amor
a mi me calma q me mires nada mas
la indiferencia no se esconde en el final
ya no
si tu vas a dejarme, sabes no habrá segunda parte
para mi lo mejor eres tu.
delicada violencia ya perdí toda paciencia
para mi mujer eres tu (x2)
eres tu...
delicada violencia ya perdí toda paciencia
para mi mujer eres tu
delicada violencia ya perdí toda conciencia
para mi mujer eres tu
eres tu (x4)
The song "Delicada Violencia" by De Saloon speaks to the pain and confusion that comes with ending a relationship. The singer begins by acknowledging that while it feels like it is raining on them, for the other person it feels as if the sun is shining. The pain they feel is not reciprocated by the other person and they no longer want to hear about love. The singer acknowledges that their senses have been changed by the pain they feel and there are some things that the heart cannot bear. They have reached the point where they feel that nothing will change and the relationship will not continue.
As the song progresses, the singer admits that they are hurt by the end of the relationship while the other person has already moved on. They describe the passage of time as "brutal and irreversible" and the feelings as too much to bear. However, they also find solace in being looked at by the other person and acknowledge that indifference does not hide in the end. The singer reaffirms that the other person is the best thing for them but cannot continue with this delicate violence that they feel. They have lost all patience and consciousness for the woman they sing about.
Overall, "Delicada Violencia" is a song about heartbreak and the struggle to move forward when one person is holding on tighter than the other. It speaks to the pain of not being able to control the feelings that arise during the end of a relationship and the need to find a way to let go.
