Cuantas Veces
Dosis Punk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que estarás haciendo ahora?
Si escapando de tu suerte
O buscando a tu Ramona
Pero hay algo que no entiendo
Vos seguís siempre luchando
Apretando bien los dientes
Con los puños siempre en alto
Cuantas veces tropezaste con la misma piedra
Cuantas veces se burlaron de tu corazón
El corcho de tus ilusiones se hundió en la botella
Saliste a ver sol pero la lluvia te mojo
Cuantas veces te paraste y ahora estas tirado
Cuantas veces te pararon para hacerte mal
Y es que la vida se olvido que vos viajas con ella
Se fue tu tren a las estrellas y vos quedaste acá
En la vida hay quiénes ganan
Sin jamás haber caído
Vos te levantaste siempre
Aun sintiéndote vencido
Vas buscando tu destino
Solitariamente punky
Por no ser igual vas solo
Por no ser igual vas punky
Cuantas veces tropezaste con la misma piedra
Cuantas veces se burlaron de tu corazón
El corcho de tus ilusiones se hundió en la botella
Saliste a ver sol pero la lluvia te mojo
Cuantas veces te paraste y ahora estas tirado
Cuantas veces te pararon para hacerte mal
Y es que la vida se olvido que vos viajas con ella
Se fue tu tren a las estrellas y vos quedaste acá
The song "Cuantas veces" by Dosis Punk is about reflecting on the struggles and hardships in life that one may face, particularly as part of the punk subculture. The lyrics express a sense of questioning and wondering about the fate of someone who may have faced adversity, with the singer contemplating whether they are still fighting against their circumstances or if they have given up.
The first verse of the song expresses this contemplation as the singer looks outside and wonders what the person is doing at that moment - whether they are running from their problems or searching for something more. The second part of the verse, however, shows confusion: the person seems to keep on fighting despite all their struggles, clenching their fists and never giving up despite the difficulties they face.
The chorus reinforces the theme of struggle and adversity, repeating the questions about how many times this person has stumbled and fallen, been hurt by others, and struggled to achieve their aspirations. The lyrics also suggest that life has forgotten about this person, who has been left behind as others move on to bigger and better things. Despite this, the chorus shows resilience in the face of adversity, emphasizing that this person has repeatedly gotten back up, even when knocked down.
Overall, “Cuantas veces” is an anthem of sorts for the punk subculture, expressing the determination and strength that is required to persevere in the face of adversity. The lyrics reflect a sense of empathy and solidarity towards those who may have had a difficult time in life, acknowledging their struggles while also celebrating their resilience and rebellious spirit.
