Magníficos comediantes
Gente Joven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
con banderas y antorchas con sus formas austeras
mucho me temo que
para poder mostrar tras una luna de cristal un trato tan frío y desnudo saludas con un aire que no puedo soportar cerrando muy fuerte los puños se quedaron helados al sentir el pinchazo de un proyecto gigante
de otra gran inversión
mucho me temo que
para continuar una comedia nos harán
más falta actores que ganas
es de una fluidez asombrosa
The opening line, "desembarcan las fieras desde un buque velero" (wild beasts disembark from a sailing ship), sets a scene of something ominous and threatening. The rest of the stanza describes their arrival with flags and torches, creating a stark and eerie atmosphere. The singer expresses apprehension about what they might do, and hints at a "cold and naked" display they might put on for an audience under a crystal moon. The second stanza talks about the reaction of the singer and their companions to this show. They can't bear to watch and feel frozen in horror as they witness this gigantic project unfold before them. The singer fears it will require more actors than enthusiasm to continue the comedy they are part of.
In the last line, the singer talks about a scene where a dagger is stabbed into their stomach with incredible fluidity. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the harsh realities of life being thrust into their gut. The overall meaning of the song seems to be a commentary on society's obsession with entertainment and the empty spectacle it often offers. The "wild beasts" could represent the performers, politicians, or any number of powerful entities that the singer perceives as a threat. The song could be urging the listener to be wary of superficial displays of power and to seek substance and truth instead.
