Carnaval
Franc Castillejos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Con mi telescopio veo a la luna y no a ti
A ti
No puedo creer que me hundí
En otro pensamiento que me hace dudar si te conocí aquí
El mundo aprende a vivir sin abrazos
En tanto silencio denso y no logro sacudir
Las ganas de encontrarte desde aquí
Pies de metal, vuelven al mar y te sueño bajo esa luz
No te puedo ver desde aquí
Todo por cruzar la línea imaginaria y no te siento en mí
En mí
Pocas veces quiero destruir
El amanecer que sale en la montaña y vuelve a mí
Que el mundo aprenda a vivir
Sin el lazo que cuelga en silencio denso
Y triunfe en sacudir la falta de amor que existe aquí
Ves? Que hasta el final conectamos bajo el suelo
Te vuelvo a encontrar en un carnaval y soñaremos bajo esa luz
The lyrics of Franc Castillejos' song Carnaval is about the struggle of trying to connect with someone you care about but can't physically be close to. The singer expresses their frustration at not being able to see the person they're trying to connect with through a telescope, so instead, they resort to imagining their presence. The lyrics suggest that despite the inability to touch or see the person, there is a deep connection between the singer and the other person. The singer also acknowledges the loneliness felt in the absence of physical human connection, especially in a world that increasingly adapts to isolation.
Throughout the song, the singer makes references to the world learning to live without embracing, and the "lazo que cuelga en silencio denso" (the bond that hangs in dense silence) being absent. The singer acknowledges how difficult it is to go through life without this bond, but they still hold onto hope that one day they will be reunited with the person they miss. The singer then ends the song by dreaming of the person they miss and wishing to connect with them, even if it's in a dream or at a carnival. The song seems to express the importance of staying connected to the people we care about, even if it means resorting to different means of connection.
