Despertar
Fabula Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El silencio y el gris
invaden mi mente
voy cayendo sin frenos
hacia la pendiente

Avisame el momento de partir
Avisame cuando todo llegue al fin
Sueño ver aqui
Y entre sombras se
deshace ahi el ser
Al ver las hojas caer

Avisame el momento de partir
Avisame cuando todo llegue al fin

Y no entiendo, y no

Creo en sueños sin razon
Vivo muriendo hoy
Es tan claro que ya no
Encuentro salida





Avisame el momento de partir
Avisame cuando todo llegue al fin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fabula's song Despertar (which means 'to wake up') convey a sense of melancholy and confusion. The first two lines set the tone for the rest of the song: the silence and the grey invade the singer's mind, and they feel like they are falling uncontrollably down a slope. These images suggest a feeling of despair or depression, as if the singer is struggling to hold onto something or to find a sense of direction.


The next lines introduce a plea to be notified of the moment to leave: "Avisame el momento de partir, Avisame cuando todo llegue al fin," which translates to "Let me know when it's time to leave, Let me know when everything comes to an end." This ambiguous request could be interpreted in various ways, such as a desire to know when one's life will end or a need for closure in a relationship or situation. Whatever the case may be, the only certainty is that the singer is ready to move on.


The final stanza furthers the themes of confusion and frustration, as the singer cannot understand what is happening around them: "Y no entiendo, y no" ("And I don't understand, and I don't"). The last two lines repeat the earlier request for notification, and the song ends on a note of uncertainty and anticipation.
