Television
Eduardo Cruz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Las piernas a lo sharon stone se abren y se
Cierran las puertas del amor me apagas y me
Enciendes como un televisor
Como hacer, como apartar lo fantastico de lo
Real y tu donde estas, sin moverme del sofa pienso
Que prefiero hacer a imaginar donde estaras
Dan las cuatro y media en la tlevision cruzando
Cierran las puertas del amor me apagas y me
Enciendes como un televisor
Dime que ves, por donde vas esta noche y
Sueñouna vez mas, dime como escapar hoy la
Noche tiene un buen plan la luna llena deja un
Animal suelto en esta ciudad un lugar donde ahogar
Los momento en los que no estas, en los que te
Vas
The lyrics of Eduardo Cruz's song "Televisión" depict a man who is addicted to television and imagines himself as a TV set, with switches to turn his feelings on and off like a remote. As the clock strikes four-thirty, he fantasizes about the women on TV, crossing their legs provocatively like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. Meanwhile, he is left alone on the couch, wondering where his lover might be, and whether she even exists beyond the screen. He longs for the escape and excitement that TV promises, but also recognizes the emptiness of his addiction and the need to distinguish fantasy from reality.
The song draws a parallel between the mesmerizing power of television and the allure of romantic love, as both can distract and consume us. The imagery of doors opening and closing suggests the fleeting nature of desire and the difficulty of making genuine connections. The singer is caught in a cycle of turning his emotions on and off, unable to fully commit or engage with his partner. The song ends with a plea for his lover to reveal herself and offer a way out of his isolated existence. Overall, "Televisión" is a reflection on modern loneliness and the search for intimacy in a world of artificial stimulation.
