Nota de Disculpa
Dulce Y Agraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de verme a mi misma tal cual
abajo todo el montaje
despido lo que está de más.
De pronto me pesa el traje
y se me quiebra la voz al hablar
grito y no escucha nadie
Te dan la mano y después te dan la espalda
lo que sale a flote
de a poco se calma
y ya no quiero más secretos
despacio quiero caminar
a paso recto.
De a poco reuní el coraje
de verme a mi misma y cambiar
desaparecer un instante
o toda la eternidad.
Reinventar con notas y gestos
reponer todo lo que he hecho mal
salir adelante a punta de esfuerzo
aprender a callar.
Cuando te dan la mano
y después te dan la espalda
lo que sale a flote de a poco se calma
y ya no quiero mas secretos
despacio quiero caminar
a paso recto.
Te dan la mano
y después te dan la espalda
lo que sale a flote
de a poco se calma
y ya no quiero más secretos
despacio quiero caminar
a paso recto
despacio quiero caminar
a paso recto
despacio quiero caminar
a paso recto.
The song "Nota de Disculpa" by Dulce y Agraz is about the process of coming to terms with oneself and taking responsibility for one's actions. The lyrics speak to the idea of shedding one's façade and being honest and true to oneself. The persona in the song has gathered the courage to see herself as she truly is without the pretentious facade she has built up. She is done with secrets, and she wants to move through life with an honest and sincere demeanor, without distractions. She acknowledges the challenges she faces when she takes her first step to change and accepts that it will not be easy.
The song's lyrics suggest that at times, people will offer their help, but then turn their backs on you. It can be frustrating and leave one feeling alone, and the persona in the song screams not to be heard but because she does not want to listen to what others say or think about her. However, she has gotten past all of that and is ready to walk forward at a steady pace, taking one step at a time, leaving everything behind and facing the future head-on. The song's message is one of hope and the importance of honoring oneself and walking towards a brighter future.
