Cuéntame Tu Vida
Furland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
con olor a alcohol que me hace llorar
que me hace tumbar al suelo y no parar
cuanto tiempo va a pasar para olvidar
no se cuanto tiempo llevo unido a ti
ya no se ni como usar los pies
ya no se que es lo que corre por mis venas
Cuentame tu vida
cuentamela toda
dime si estoy vivo, si todavia respiro
veo perros que se arrastran al ladrar
me acuesto en el suelo y me dan ganas de volver
esa angustia de tener seco el corazon
cuentame algo que si no voy a enloquecer
cuentame tu vida
cuentamela toda
dime si estoy vivo, si todavia respiro
cuentame tu vida
cuentamela toda
dime si estoy vivo si todavia respiro
The lyrics of the song "Cuéntame Tu Vida" by Furland speak about the struggles of addiction and heartbreak. The first verse describes the singer's path to self-destruction, with him seeing only glass filled with alcohol that makes him cry and unable to stand. He wonders how long it will take for him to forget and move on. He feels lost and numb, unable to feel his own feet and not knowing what is running through his veins.
The chorus asks someone to share their life story with him, possibly to make him feel alive and remind him that there's still a world outside of his pain. He wants to know if he's still breathing and if there's anything worth living for. The second verse mentions seeing dogs crawling when they bark and feeling the urge to go back to the ground. There's a sense of emptiness and desperation that pushes him to ask for something, anything, to keep him from going insane.
Overall, the song is a plea for help from someone who's lost themselves to addiction and heartbreak. They're asking for any sign of life and hope, even if it's just in someone else's story. It's a haunting and vulnerable portrayal of a person at their lowest point, trying to cling to the tiniest sliver of hope.

How much time needs to go by for me to forget? I don't know how long I've been tied to you. I don't even know how to use my feet anymore. I don't know what's flowing through my veins. My whole body feels as if it's melting when I breathe.
