Abrir la Puerta
Gepe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inundar el lugar
Respira un poco digo siéntate acá
Agua para tomar afuera hace calor
Por teléfono escuché tu voz
Parecía que algo andaba mal
Por eso te invité a venir
Sonando esa canción que nos hace llorar
Vamos hablando de eso que te pasó
Que ya no solución, estamos a fin de mes
Su respuesta siempre es igual
Bien difícil que pueda cambiar
A veces es leal perder
Hey te tengo que contar
Que yo soy algo igual
Mirando el techo no sé que pasa
Será el calor o el frío el que no seca
El dólar, la política siniestra
El puño que golpeará la mesa
Nos tapó el sol
Su respuesta siempre es igual
Bien difícil que pueda cambiar
A veces es leal perder
In Gepe's song "Abrir la Puerta", the singer is welcoming someone into their space, offering them a seat and water from outside where it's hot. He notes that he had heard their voice over the phone, and sensed that something was wrong, so he invited them in to chat. As they relax and listen to a song that makes them both cry, they begin to talk about the issues that the other person is going through, such as financial struggles that seem to have no solution.
Throughout the song, Gepe subtly touches on various societal issues that could be contributing to the hardships that they're both dealing with, such as politics, the economy, and oppressive systems that "block out the sun". These factors seem to lead to a feeling of helplessness that they both share, knowing that it can be difficult to bring about real change. The line "a veces es leal perder" (sometimes loyalty means losing) highlights the idea that standing up for what's right isn't always easy or successful, but can still be worth it in the end.
The song itself has a somber and introspective tone, contrasting anger and sadness with an underlying sense of hope. The use of repetition throughout the song, such as the repeated phrase "abrir la puerta" (open the door) and the chorus which repeats "su respuesta siempre es igual" (your response is always the same), drives home the idea of feeling stuck in a situation and hoping for something to change. The music video is similarly melancholy, showing Gepe and a group of musicians playing in the rain as they reflect on their hardships.
