La Inmensa Necesidad
Glup! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

La inmensa necesidad
es lo que me hace pensar
pensar y despues temblaar
temblar y volver a pensar

porque la inmensa necesidad
es lo que me hace cortar
quisiera tener mas fe

tratar de volver a creer
que no me paresco a ti
que en nada me paresco a ustedes

pero la inmensa necesidad
de no poder estar solo
es lo que me hace temblar
maldita necesidad

si yo pudiera tener
un poquito mas de ti
volver a creer en dios
saber beber
volver a aprender de tii.
i me voy.

Overall Meaning

The song "La Inmensa Necesidad" by Glup! describes the overwhelming feeling of need and the struggle to feel independent and different from others. The lyrics talk about how this need causes the singer to think and then tremble, seemingly unable to break free from this cycle. The singer wishes they had more faith and could believe in God again, but they feel like they are nothing like the people around them.

The repetition of the phrase "la inmensa necesidad" emphasizes the weight of this feeling and the hold it has over the singer. The mention of wanting to be different from others suggests a sense of alienation and feeling like they don't belong. However, the final lines of the song show a willingness to learn and grow from others, expressing a sense of hope and openness.

Overall, the song speaks to the universal human experience of feeling the need for connection and belonging, while also struggling to maintain a sense of individuality and independence.
