Rómpelo
Dry River Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ciego observador,
Eres tú el hombre del saco
Presa y cazador
Vives como el ángel exterminador
Voluntario presidiario
Habitual hipnotizador
Siempre lo peor
Eres bruja y votas a la inquisición
Por miedo a un mal mayor
Rómpelo, hazlo pedazos
Deshazte del temor
La vida es un regalo
Si logras huir del miedo
Y tomar el control
En el mundo hay desalmados
Infierno y destrucción
Sólo te sientes a salvo
Como espectador
Desconfías de la gente sin razón
El pringao no seré yo
Rómpelo, hazlo pedazos
Deshazte del temor
La vida es un regalo
Si logras huir del miedo
Y tomar el control
Rómpelo, hazlo pedazos
Deshazte del temor
La vida es un regalo
Si logras huir del miedo
Y tomar el control
The lyrics of "Rómpelo" by Dry River are about breaking free from fear and taking control of one's life. The song talks about how people often let fear control their lives and become the "prey and hunter" in a world of chaos and destruction. The opening lines, "Avestruz sobreinformado, Ciego observador" talk about how people behave like an ostrich with their head in the sand, taking in too much information but being blind to their own surroundings. The chorus "Rómpelo, hazlo pedazos, Deshazte del temor" urges the listener to break free from fear and live a life of their own, embracing the opportunities that come their way.
The lyrics go on to describe how people become "voluntary prisoners" of their own fear, and how they spend their lives "waiting for the worst." The lines "Eres bruja y votas a la inquisición, Por miedo a un mal mayor" talk about how people often become the very thing they fear, and how they would rather be with the oppressors than be oppressed themselves. It is a call to break free from this cycle of fear and embrace life with open arms.
The song talks about how there are always "soulless" people in the world, and how one can only feel safe as an observer. But the chorus once again emphasizes that the only way to truly live is to break free from fear and take control. The song ends with the lines "Si logras huir del miedo, Y tomar el control" - if you manage to escape from fear and take control.
Overall, "Rómpelo" is a powerful song about overcoming fear and taking charge of one's life.
