La Figura Del 8
El Petit De Cal Eril Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
segur que mai ningú podrà o sabrà com oblidar qui és
com tots passem l’estona
sense saber què es el que ens passarà demà si un cas caiem
quin pes més gran soporta l’ésser, milions d’incògnites
i jo sense saber restar
quan d’un gra en fem muntanyes
llavors un vent malvat, molt fort, preciós, trempat ho fot volar
La figura del vuit cau com tu tan li fa,
del dret, com del revés
quan creus saber què esperes
llavors el buit et ve de cop i caus avall fins l’infinit
la figura del buit cau com tu
tant li fot del dret com del revés
la figura del buit cau com tots
tant li fa si et distreus i vas de cap
The song "La Figura Del 8" by El Petit De Cal Eril explores the idea of uncertainty and the unknown future that everyone faces. The first verse discusses how the world can be scary when looked at from a different perspective, such as from the bottom. The fear of being forgotten or not knowing one's place in the world is a common experience for many people. The verse also comments on the weight that individuals carry with them as they navigate the unknown, with countless unanswered questions.
The chorus uses a metaphorical figure eight to illustrate the unpredictability of life. Just like the figure eight can fall and turn upside down, so can one's life plans and expectations. The sudden drop into the unknown, shown in the metaphorical "void", leaves one falling to infinity. The final verse reinforces this idea of unpredictability and how we are all subject to it, with the "figure of the void" falling just like all of us, regardless of our distractions and actions.
Overall, the song speaks to our shared experiences of uncertainty in life and the ever-present fear of the unknown. The use of metaphor and poetic lyrics adds depth and complexity to the message.
