Polígono industrial
Espiritusanto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pronto vamos a empezar a arder, recuerdo pensar
Nada hacía sospechar el dolor apunto de estallar
Te esperé hasta morir en aquel bar del polígono industrial
Llegué pronto,
No seas tonto
Nunca entré porque pensé,
Que así
Te conozco y cabrearte,
Es el mejor arte
Si me odias y desprecias,
Me dejaras ir
Y no me equivocaba, ¿o sí?
El humor de quién ve próximo el verano llegar
En un par de cafés cuya azucar me supo a sal
Quién me iba a decir que trataba con fulana tal
Ese día que esperé en aquel bar del polígono industrial
Llegué pronto,
No seas tonto
Nunca entré porque pensé
Que así
No te haría sufrir
Te conozco y cabrearte,
Es el mejor arte
Si me odias y desprecias,
Me dejaras ir
Y no me equivocaba, ¿o sí?
Ese día hacía un sol que no veo hacía un montón
of time
In "Polígono industrial," Espiritusanto describes a day in which he waited in a bar located in an industrial district for someone who failed to show up. He reflects on the heat of the day and the unexpected pain that he was about to experience. The guilt and regret are palpable as he considers the possibility that his own behavior led the other person to abandon their plans. His attempt to avoid causing pain by not entering the bar is futile, since the damage had already been done. He knew his actions had caused hurt, and the other person validly chose to leave.
The song is a reflection of the human emotions involved in romantic relationships, acknowledging that people often try to put on a brave face despite immense internal distress. It speaks to the universality of the experience of pain and the different methods people use to deal with it. Espiritusanto's lyrics highlight the importance of communication, of acknowledging our own responsibility in relationships and recognizing the impact we can have on others.
