Eskorzo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy a saborear la insipidez de la existencia sin ti una vez mas
a educar mi paladar, con cada sorbo de vida.
Que no hay verdades ni mentiras
que a mi me puedan consolar.
Todo dependerá, de como lama mis heridas.
Y he aprendido a leer la fortuna,
en los lunares de la piel de la cara oculta de la luna
Cerrar los ojos para ver, a saber esperar a las musas,

que un dia vendran que un dia vendran a llevarme contigo.
Aprender a respirar, con cada soplo de vida.
Que no hay ventana, ni salida, tampoco una puerta de atrás,
solo la oscuridad.
Voy a saborear la insipidez de la existencia sin ti una vez mas aprender a respirar con cada soplo de vida, que no hay entradas ni salidas, tampoco una puerta de atrás, solo la oscuridad con que te alejas dia a dia y no te olvidare, juro que no te olvidare por mucho que lo intentes por mucho que te esfuerces, y te llevare alli donde pisen mis pies que es donde duele mas, que es como duele mas.
Y he aprendido a leer la fortuna,
en los lunares de la piel de la cara oculta de la luna
Cerrar los ojos para ver, a saber esperar a las musas,

que un dia vendran que un dia vendran a llevarme contigo.
Justo despues del ultimo momento

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eskorzo's "Justo Después" tell a story of moving on from a relationship, learning to live and breathe without the presence of the other person. The singer is determined to embrace the tastelessness of existence without their former lover, but also to find meaning and purpose in life through each breath they take. The lyrics suggest that there is no absolute truth or falsehood that can offer solace to the singer. Instead, the ability to move on hinges solely on the singer's ability to come to terms with their past and the wounds that still linger.

The singer has also learned how to read the mysteries of life, finding significance in the skin on the "hidden face" of the moon. They have discovered that sometimes closing one's eyes can reveal more than keeping them open, and they have learned to seek inspiration and guidance from unseen sources. The song concludes with a declaration of the singer's undying love for their former partner, and their promise to carry the pain with them wherever they go.
