Sangre
Garrobos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cada vez que te miro
de frente en tus ojos me trato de ver,
y sentir, desperdiciar,
no puedo escapar.

Extravie, las perdi,
razones de vivir.
He tocado

todas las puertas
y nadie al llamado escucho.

Quiero cortarme la piel,
y verme desangrar,

quiero cortarme la piel,
y verme desangrar.

Overall Meaning

The song "Sangre" by Garrobos is a hauntingly intense portrayal of crippling pain and a desperation to escape from it. The first stanza expresses a deep longing to understand oneself by looking into the eyes of the person they're talking to. The singer is struggling to find meaning in their existence and feels like everything they've tried so far has been in vain. The phrase "Extravie, las perdi, razones de vivir" translates to "I lost, I have lost reasons to live" indicating someone struggling to find reasons to keep on living.

The second stanza paints a picture of someone who has been constantly seeking help and support but has failed to find any. They have tried every door, knocking on every possible source of assistance but nobody answered or paid heed to their calls. This is an indication of the deep isolation and sense of abandonment that has been gnawing away at the singer's soul.

The refrain of the song mentions something extremely dark and painful, giving a raw insight into the emotional turmoil experienced by the singer. The lyrics "Quiero cortarme la piel, y verme desangrar" translate to "I want to cut open my skin and watch myself bleed." It showcases the singer's willingness to do anything, even cause themselves harm, to be free from this overwhelming pain and emptiness they feel inside.
