Delirio Universal
El Otro Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sonrisa galáctica, desnúdate, desnúdame.
Amame, OH! Amame.
Delirio universal, guía del alma.
Inspira, respira en tu interior.
Galáctico.
El hombre oscuro avanza con su oido y sin verdad,
Es solo un punto com.
Porque a la hora de la verdad todo es mentira
Imágen perpendicular, descríbeme, escríbeme.
Artístico, inmundo, frutal, puta!
Amame, Oh Amame.
Destino irregular.
The lyrics of El Otro Yo's "Delirio Universal" revolves around the idea of embracing individuality and letting go of societal expectations. The first line, "Destino irregular, elige una estrella" translates to "Irregular destiny, choose a star," implying that one's path may not always line up with what society deems as the norm, but that's okay. The lines "Sonrisa galáctica, desnúdate, desnúdame" mean "Galactic smile, undress, undress me," emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself even if it means shedding layers of societal norms.
The chorus, "Amame, OH! Amame. / Delirio universal, guía del alma. / Inspira, respira en tu interior. / Galáctico." means "Love me, oh love me. / Universal delirium, guide of the soul. / Inspire, breathe within yourself. / Galactic." Here, the artist encourages listeners to love themselves and embrace their unique paths as they navigate through life. The phrase "Delirio Universal" serves as a guiding light for the soul, reminding us to stay true to our authentic selves even when it feels like the world around us is chaotic and unpredictable.
The second half of the song alludes to the dangers of conformity and how it can spiral out of control. The lines "El hombre oscuro avanza con su oido y sin verdad, / Es solo un punto com. / Los pasos humanos caen en la locura, / Porque a la hora de la verdad todo es mentira" translate to "The dark man advances with his ear and without truth, / He is just a dot com. / Human steps fall into madness, / Because when it comes down to it, everything is a lie." The verse highlights the dangers of blindly following societal expectations and how it can lead to a life devoid of truth and authenticity.
