El Otro Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ciberamor satelital, sos invisible y te conozco igual.
Tigre de fuego blanco, volando voy sobre tu lomo.
Perdiendo todos mis recuerdos me hundo en tus ojos de lago.
Cometa, cometa, pasa todo el tiempo volando
visitando tantos mundos distintos,
Pero pocas veces regresas al mismo.
Prendiendo fuego mi pasado,
Desmanes de vidas y muertes,
se reproducen tan efímeras.
Andate, andate, antes de que se nos vaya el efecto!
Quiero atrapar por siempre este momento antes de que el viento lo lleve tan lejos.
The lyrics of El Otro Yo’s song Cometa tell a story about a love that transcends physical distance and exists on a higher plane. The singer suggests that if their lover calls out to them with their mind, they will be able to sense it and respond even if they are far away. They describe this love as a “ciberamor satelital”, an internet love that transcends space and time. The singer then compares their lover to a white fire tiger carrying them through different worlds, losing themselves in the lover’s deep eyes like a lake.
The chorus repeats the word “cometa”, meaning comet. The comet is used as a metaphor for this love, which visits different worlds but rarely returns to the same one twice. The singer acknowledges that their lover has rescued them from the abyss by burning away their past, and that they are both transient beings in a world of chaos and mortality. They urge their lover to leave before the moment fades away, wanting to grasp onto this moment forever before it is blown away by the wind.
Overall, the song presents a dream-like narrative that explores the power of love to transcend space and time. The lyrics suggest that love is like a comet, fleeting yet beautiful, visiting different worlds but ultimately never staying in one place for long.
