Dry River Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haz que no dejen de bailar
Convierte tu canción
En cash
Lo he visto claro
Me vas a hacer triunfar
Si metes acordes de más
Quédate en fa mayor
Te irá genial
Lo he visto claro
Voy a maquinar
Un hit estival
Pero, ¿por qué negarlo?
Derrotas a granel
Me pone a cien
Me pone a cien
Creo que no acabo de encajar
Habla de amor
Olvida cualquier juicio social
De revolución
Mejor ni hablar
Lo he visto claro
Voy a potenciar
Mi lado más banal
Pero, ¿por qué negarlo?
Ver al mundo arder
Me pone a cien
Me pone a cien
Creo que no acabo de encajar
Me pone a cien
Me pone a cien
Creo que no acabo de encajar
Me pone a cien
Me pone a cien
Creo que esto no va a funcionar
The song "Me Pone a Cien" by Dry River is a commentary on the music industry and the pressure to create popular hits that appeal to the masses. The lyrics encourage the use of simple chord progressions and popular dance beats to ensure that people keep dancing to the music. The singer feels the pressure to write a hit and is determined to succeed, but also recognizes that there is a risk of making the song worse by adding too many complex chords. The lyrics suggest the need for a balance between creating a catchy hit and staying true to one's artistic vision.
The song also critiques the expectation of artists to create music that conforms to certain social norms, such as writing about love and avoiding controversial or political topics. The singer acknowledges their desire to pursue their more "banal" side and create music that appeals to their base instincts. At the same time, they recognize that this desire may not lead to long-term success and that they may not fit into the music industry and its expectations.
Overall, "Me Pone a Cien" is a commentary on the challenge of creating popular music while staying true to one's artistic vision and sense of self.
