Dr. Toast is a stealthy producer of deep, abstract, hypnotic beats. His influences run the gamut from ambient to breaks to hip hop to IDM to psychill - which are layered together into lush washes of otherworldly sound, and always with a deep, thumping, head-nodding foundation. As a longtime member of the False Profit crew, he has been performing original material live on his laptop at underground parties in San Francisco since 2003, and has been known to make appearances on soundsystems from New York City to Black Rock City. When he needs a break from laptop sorcery, he can be found in clubs scratching vinyl alongside local breaks DJs.
Paz
Dr. Toast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Todo lo que hay detrás
Viendo tu dolor
Y no quieres gritar
Ni ver que hay más allá
De su traición
Su mundo se cayó
Y el tuyo renació
Lograste enfrentar
Venciste enemigos con tu paz
No hay más que pensar
Lograste sanar
Todas las heridas
Con tu paz
Mentiste a su favor
Cegando por amor
La luz del sol se fue
Y el cielo iluminó
A tu corazón
Que nunca se apagó
Su mundo se cayó
Y el tuyo renació
Supiste luchar
Lograste enfrentar
Venciste enemigos con tu paz
No hay más que pensar
Lograste sanar
Todas las heridas
Supiste luchar
Lograste enfrentar
Venciste enemigos con tu paz
No hay más que pensar
Lograste sanar
Todas las heridas
Con tu paz
Si llego a matar
No te sientas mal
Mi propio destino me hizo fallar
Mi propio destino me hizo fallar
These lyrics, from Dr. Toast's song "Paz," convey a powerful message of resilience and inner strength in the face of betrayal and pain. The song speaks of a person who has experienced great suffering, yet instead of succumbing to despair or seeking revenge, they choose to embrace peace as a way to heal and overcome their wounds.
The opening lines, "No puedo imaginar, Todo lo que hay detrás" (I can't imagine all that lies behind), express the difficulty the person faces in comprehending the depth of their pain and the magnitude of the betrayal they have endured. They witness their own pain but resist screaming or seeking revenge, choosing instead to explore what lies beyond the betrayal.
The lyrics continue to emphasize how the person's world crumbled as a result of the betrayal, while their own spirit was reborn. They recognize the necessity of fighting and facing their enemies but achieve victory not through violence but through their inner peace. "Venciste enemigos con tu paz" (You conquered enemies with your peace) highlights the transformative power of choosing peace over aggression or retaliation.
The song also acknowledges that the singer may have made mistakes along the way, as expressed in the lines "Mentiste a su favor, Cegando por amor" (You lied in their favor, Blinded by love). Despite this, they recognize their own failings and accept responsibility, understanding that their own destiny played a role in their fall. The closing lines, "Si llego a matar, No te sientas mal, Mi propio destino me hizo fallar" (If I were to kill, Don't feel bad, My own destiny caused me to fail), convey a sense of remorse and a willingness to accept the consequences of their actions.
Overall, "Paz" is a song that celebrates the transformative power of peace, resilience, and personal growth, even in the face of profound pain and betrayal.
