Espanto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pero un poco más glam
Somos como los heavy's
pero un poco más blandos
Somos como Zombie Bowie
Como Rolan Bolan
Hijos de nuestros padres
como Lisa Marie
Desde lejos
parece que no se mueven
pero lentamente
los mece el viento
Somos como la sombra
de la realidad
Somos como los ojos
de nuestros perros
Nos sigue sorprendiendo
la electricidad
No sabemos distinguir
entre malo y bueno
Somos como el río
que parece quieto
pero suavemente
la corriente
va cayendo.
The song "Hijos" by Espanto is a reflection of the band's identity and perspective on life. The first few lines of the song compare themselves to rockers and heavys, but with their own twist, a little more glam and a little more softness. They then mention names such as Zombie Bowie, Rolan Bolan, and Lisa Marie, who represent different influences and inspirations for the band. This shows that they don't want to be defined by one particular genre or style, but rather they take a bit of everything and make it their own.
The next lines compare their identity to trees and shadows, both of which may appear still but are constantly moving and changing. Similarly, they see themselves as constantly evolving and growing, shaped by the people and experiences around them. They also mention the surprise and wonder they feel towards electricity, which could symbolize the powerful force of creativity and inspiration that drives their music.
The final lines compare their identity to a river, which may appear calm on the surface but is constantly flowing and changing underneath. This reinforces the idea that their identity and perspective are always evolving and adapting, and that they are open to new experiences and influences. Overall, the lyrics of "Hijos" convey a sense of self-awareness and openness that characterizes Espanto's music and philosophy.

La cantidad de mierda que hay hoy en día en el indie patrio lo que te permite, es apreciar de manera mucho más nítida las buenas canciones, y esta es una de ellas.
