Gossos Lyrics

Com fer vull que entris dintre del meu món
Podem contemplar el cel
O podem tocar la neu
Podem dir que sí
I entendre que no ens posseïm
Ja sé que se'm fa petit el món
Com et podria acompanyar
Sense primer no haver explorat
Sé que ja estic molt a prop
De fer fora el fum que encara et confon
No em cal descansar
Si estic inspirat
Hi ha una força que em guia
I que em déna la vida
I em fa desvetllar
I així recordar els meus somnis
I avui tinc davant un dia brillant
Que em dóna la màgia per seguir i no caure
Vull contemplar els secrets més guardats
Tant temps perdut
Seguint el teu perfum
Eres part del paisatge
Com una llum, un miratge
Com et podria acompanyar
I sentir el teu pols al despertar
Fer-te el cafè cada matí
I sentir per dins que no he de fugir
No em cal descansar si estic inspirat
Hi ha una força que em guia
I que em dóna la vida
I em fa desvetllar
I així recordar els meus somnis
I avui tinc davant un dia brillant
Que em dóna la màgia per seguir i no caure
Vull contemplar els secrets més guardats
No em cal descansar
Com una llum, com un miratge
Si estic inspirat
Per seguir dret i així no caure
I avui tinc davant
Com una llum com un miratge
Un dia brillant
Per seguir drets i així no caure
The lyrics to Gossos's song "En pau" speak to the desire to invite someone into the singer's life and heart, while also acknowledging the fear and uncertainty that can come with opening oneself up to another person. The opening lines ask "How can I open my heart to you? How can I make you enter my world?", indicating a desire to connect deeply with someone. The following lines suggest that the singer and the addressee can share experiences together like gazing upon the sky or feeling the snow. Despite this desire for connection, there is also an acknowledgement of the difficulties that come with relationships; the lyrics say that they can say yes, but understand that they don't possess each other.
The singer also admits that sometimes the world feels too small and that he seeks to escape, but is hesitant to do so without having fully explored what's around him. He is on the cusp of breaking free from any confusion or doubt, and reveals that he is inspired and guided by an inner force that gives him life and awakens his dreams. The lyrics describe a day that is full of magic and brightness, which he uses to contemplate the secrets of the world around him. The song ends with the repeated idea of "I don't need to rest if I'm inspired", which suggests that he is ready to face whatever challenges may come his way.
Overall, "En pau" is a song about both the desire for intimacy and the fear that comes with opening oneself up to another. It acknowledges that relationships can be complicated, but also suggests that there is value in exploring and following one's dreams, even if the path ahead is uncertain.
