Fantasmas
Fangoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El fuego anda junto a mí
Las sombras van cayendo en mis brazos
Y no sé cómo evitar lo irracional
Lo que me mantiene aquí sin respirar
¿Con qué fantasmas
De qué otro infierno
Más me eh de salvar?
¿Y cuánto va a costarme
La idea de olvidarme
De cada sueño que ya traicioné?
Por ser feliz me marcharía lejos
Muy lejos de mí
El tiempo está ardiendo en mis manos
Y no sé como apagar lo que encendí
Y no puedo soportar vivir así
Y a cada instante
Me juro ser valiente
No abandonar, seguir así
The song "Fantasmas" by Fangoria delves into the struggles of the present moment and the haunting memories of the past that seem to follow the singer. The opening lines "Yo fui feliz pero ahora mismo, El fuego anda junto a mí" translates to "I was happy but right now, the fire walks beside me." The fire represents the internal feelings and conflicts that the singer is going through, and it is reflected in the shadows that are falling in their arms. The dark shadows symbolize the ghosts of the past, which have made it impossible for the singer to breathe or move forward.
The song continues with the singer asking, "With what ghosts do I have to fight? From what other hell, do I have to save myself? And how much will it cost me to forget each dream that I have already betrayed?" These lines show that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their past, but they want to move forward, and this internal battle is what is keeping them from doing so.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is willing to do anything to be happy, even if it means leaving themselves behind. They vow to be brave and not give up and continue to fight their internal demons. The final lines of the song, "Y a cada instante, Me juro ser valiente, No abandonar, seguir así," translate to "At every moment, I promise to be brave, not to quit, and keep going." These lines show the singer's determination to keep moving forward, to find happiness, and to leave the ghosts of the past behind.
