Alas Rotas
Doctor Deseo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De los gatos y juegos
De los niños perdidos
Por donde ahora se arrastran
Las sombras heridas
De miseria y olvido
Vive mi corazón
Con traje de soledad
Poder escapar
Sin billete de vuelta
Buscando un camino
Que me aleje de aquí
Y poder lavar
Tanto trapo sucio atrasado
Y pasear sin miedo
Por los arrabales del alma
Y saber que puedo
Seguir soñando sin ti
The song "Alas Rotas" by Doctor Deseo speaks about the emptiness and loneliness that can be found in abandoned areas where forgotten children and stray cats roam. The shadows of poverty and neglect hover over these spaces, and the singer's heart resonates with the same kind of pain. The metaphorical broken wings of the heart keep the singer grounded in this desolate place, preventing them from flying away, but they yearn to escape and find a way out without the possibility of return. The singer desires to start anew, leaving behind their past full of regret and shame. The hope of being able to wash away the old dirt and walk without fear through the alleys of the soul, knowing that they can still dream without the person they were once attached to.
The lyrics of this song capture the feeling of being trapped in a place that is toxic and destructive, but also familiar and constricting. The use of metaphors such as the broken wings and clothes of loneliness creates a poignant image of the singer's desire to break free. The song's mood is melancholic, and the singer's voice carries a certain sadness, emphasizing the feeling of despair and longing for something more.
