Todo Por Ti
Dr. Stev Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con la tristeza en el sofá.
Cansado de dar mil vueltas en la jaula.
Mi cabeza se va al peor de los lugares.
Esta tarde solo anticipa una noche polar.
De vez en cuando
hay un imbécil dentro de mí,
al que le gusta hacerse daño y tropezar.
Salgo a la calle, hoy no me aguanto más.
Las luces de esta ciudad
bailando en el parabrisas.
Hay amantes bajo la lluvia,
tesoros ocultos detrás del dolor,
un buen amigo, una canción.
A ti,
que cuando me acaricias
limpias de ruido mis silencios,
como un susurro en una noche de verano.
Se van las fieras por un tiempo.
Y miro a través de tus ojos.
Que con el brillo de una lágrima
hacen que el mundo parezca mejor.
Es por ti.
In "Todo Por Ti," Dr. Stev questions what to do with the sadness weighing him down while seated on the couch. He's exhausted from going around in circles in his metaphorical cage, and his mind races to dark places as he anticipates a frigid evening ahead. Occasionally, he admits to having an idiotic side to him that enjoys self-harm and stumbling. But on this particular day, he cannot tolerate staying indoors any longer and ventures out into the street. The lyrics suggest that despite the sadness and the hardships, the lights of the city dance on the windshield and people brave the rainy weather to be with their lovers, revealing hidden treasures behind the pain. A good friend and a melody also appear to be among those "treasures."
Through the song's chorus, Dr. Stev appears to sing to a person who brings light to his life, touching him in a manner that clears his mind of any noise. He likens this person's touch to a whisper on a summer night, an image which removes the wild beasts within him for some time. When he gazes into his friend's eyes, the world becomes a better place when the tears sparkle in them. The song ends with the lyrics: "It's for you," seeming to indicate that this person is the inspiration for the song.
