Todas Las Ventanas
Glup! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Todas las ventanas siempre son cuadradas
y todaslas mañanas salgo de mi cama
y tomo un colectivo, rumbo hasta tu cara
y todas las mañanas, siempre son cuadradas

Y espero una droga, un efecto, que me haga reir
y espero que esa droga y ese efecto siempre seas tu

y son preservativas, todas las ventanas
de quedarme adentro de todas las palabras
y lo anticonceptivo del miedo al compromiso
son todas las ventanas que siempre dan lo mismo

Y espero una droga, un efecto, que me haga reir
y espero que esa droga y ese efecto siempre seas tu
Siempre siempre seas tu

Siempre siempre seas tu
y espero que esa droga siempre seas tu

Overall Meaning

The song "Todas las ventanas" by Glup! portrays the feeling of being trapped in a monotonous routine and the desire for something exciting and new to break through the repetitive cycle. The first verse mentions that all windows are square and every morning, the singer takes the same bus to someone's face. The repetition of the square windows signifies the mundane and stale lifestyle, and the bus ride shows his longing for change, possibly towards his loved one whom he sees every morning.

The second verse talks about an expected drug or something that makes him laugh to bring some joy to his life. The drug being referred to here can either be literally or metaphorically, but the point is, he is looking for something out of the ordinary. He hopes that the drug or the effect he is looking for is always the person he loves.

The chorus mentions that every window is a barrier and a way to prevent himself from experiencing new things. The fear of committing and missing out on other opportunities keeps him from venturing outside, just like how protection or contraception keeps one from getting pregnant or catching a sexually transmitted disease. All of these windows look the same and offer the same vision, further emphasizing his desire for change.

Overall, the song portrays a longing for change, excitement, and love in a routine and repetitive life.
