El ojo que me mira
Fito & Fitipaldis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No se que esperáis de mí
Yo que muero cada día
Que tú te olvidas de mí
Soy un pez en una jaula
Lo que quiero y lo que no
¡¡Soy todo lo que me pasa!!
Además estoy cansado
Además...
Sé que tú de lo que dices la mitad.
Menos mal que está a mi lado
Siempre el mar.
Todo lo demás me hace daño
Y yo, y yo, y yo, y yo, y yo,
Y yo, y yo, y yo, y yo, y yo, y yo
The lyrics to Fito & Fitipaldis's song El ojo que me mira (The Eye That Looks at Me) convey a sense of feeling trapped and misunderstood. The singer is aware of the people around them, but they don't know what is expected of them. They feel like they die a little inside every day and that others forget about them. The metaphor of being a fish in a cage suggests that the singer feels restricted and unable to do what they want, uncertain of what they desire. They feel like they are constantly being watched, but they don't see themselves the same way that others do. The singer is tired and exhausted, knowing that only half of what others say is true. However, they find solace in the presence of the sea, which is always by their side. Everything else causes them harm.
The song, El ojo que me mira, was released in 2003 as part of Fito & Fitipaldis's fourth album, Por la Boca Vive el Pez (The Fish Lives Through the Mouth), which was a commercial success. It was their breakthrough album, and it earned them a lot of praise from critics, making them one of Spain's most popular rock bands. The album was certified as four times platinum, and the majority of its singles were successful.
