Prisma
Disco Ruido Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Esta es la selva de los olvidados
Patrón duplicado buscando verdad
Es el pantano de amores gitanos
Cuando ciudadanos
Gravitan la sal

No sólo hacen las cosas
Sino gozan las miran y vibran

Sea usted el autor
De sus parámetros
Conozca el diámetro
Que lo conforma una esfera de amor

Me congelaré para perder flujo
Y salir del embrujo que habita mi ser
Descansaré de motores ajenos
Que invocan mis truenos sin rayos haber

Nacerá hiedra en tu corazón piedra
Cuando tus palabras signos dé verdad
Eres dominio de presentes Marte
Amarte es matar a Venus y orbitar

Llanto
Naces adentro
Sacúdeme
Y tráeme de vuelta
Llanto
Exprime el centro
Prisma no ser
Es una agonía
Límpiame
Agua del valle
Has que calle lo que intoxica el talle

Llanto
Naces adentro
Sacúdeme
Y tráeme de vuelta
Llanto
Exprime el centro
Prisma no ser
Es una agonía
Límpiame
Agua del valle

Has que calle
Lo que intoxica el talle

Overall Meaning

In "Prisma," Disco Ruido creates a complex and alluring web of imagery around the themes of self-discovery, emotional health, and authenticity. The opening verse sets the stage with its haunting depiction of the "jungle of the forgotten," with its "duplicated patterns" and its "swamp of gypsy loves." The image of citizens "gravitating" around the salt of the earth creates a sense of both longing and displacement, as if the singer is searching for something they can't quite grasp.

The second verse deepens this sense of displacement, as the singer declares an intention to "freeze" themselves in order to break free from the "spell" that holds them. They long for a rest from the "alien engines" that "invoke their thunders" without any actual lightning strike. The final verse is perhaps the most enigmatic, with its discussion of Venus, Mars, and the emergence of ivy in a stone heart. The image of a "prism" is used throughout the song as a metaphor for emotional clarity and freedom; the singer seeks to be cleansed of that which "intoxicates," so that they can become something brighter, more whole.

Overall, "Prisma" is a subtle, beautifully crafted exploration of self and society, with a wistful, otherworldly feel that is both melancholy and hopeful. The lyrics work together to create a sense of longing, displacement, and the desire for connection, all wrapped up in a stirring, poetic package.
