Hablar Hacia Atras
De Saloon Lyrics

The song "Hablar hacia atrás" by De Saloon is a deeply emotional piece about the difficulty of forgiveness and personal growth. The song opens with the line "Un solo lugar" which translates to "one single place" and may be a reference to a specific point in time or a physical location where the singer and the person they are addressing were once together. The lines "Hablé de ti/Si no sé cómo hacerlo- hablar de mi" suggest that the singer has been speaking about the other person, but finds it difficult to speak about themselves. However, they clarify that this is not a result of ego.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Si quisiera perdonarme los ojos otra vez" which means "If I wanted to forgive my eyes again." The line "me los guardo y quizás no te vuelvan a mirar" " and "I'll keep them to myself and maybe they won't look at you again" suggests that the singer is struggling to move past a difficult situation and may need to distance themselves from the other person in order to do so. The lines "Estoy contento y mi voz que no para de llorar/Tengo miedo y es porque esto es tan fácil de...entender" suggest that despite the singer's efforts to appear content, they are still struggling emotionally and are afraid of the implications of their situation.

The final lines of the song "Y tú sabes dónde ir/Yo te sigo y me pierdo/Y ahora quieres que te espere justo donde te dejé" suggest that the other person has moved on and wants the singer to stay behind. However, the singer finds this difficult and may feel as though they are losing themselves in the process. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the complexity of human relationships and the challenge of personal growth.
