Gossos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
podria ser que fos tot virtual,
titelles d'alguna cosa
que ens manipula a tots des allà d'alt
en silenci, escric tot el que penso amb tots els detalls.
Podria ser que la vida fos un regal difícil de portar,
compartim junts quatre idees
en silenci, encenc l'espurna de la curiositat.
Podria ser que fos lliure
podria ser que no tingués governants
podria ser que l'espècie
fos l'objectiu, el nostre únic final.
No t'espantis, no veus que només estic filosofant.
Encara hi som a temps
podem fer alguna cosa.
Encara hi som a temps
només hem de seguir constants.
Encara hi som a temps
hem de fer fort l'estómac
Encara hi som a temps
i podem fer-ho millor.
Podria fer tantes coses
viure a la pell d'homes que no seré mai
podria conèixer els misteris
que donen forma a dies, mesos i anys
quantes preguntes
potser és que m'estic fent gran, com passen els anys.
Viatgers del temps
que fàcil és perdre el nord
compartirem tot el que ens queda encara.
Encara hi som a temps
podem fer alguna cosa.
Encara hi som a temps
només hem de seguir constants.
Encara hi som a temps
hem de fer fort l'estómac
Encara hi som a temps
i podem fer-ho millor.
In Gossos's song Filosofant, the lyrics explore the possibilities and uncertainties of life. The singer contemplates the idea of life being virtual and manipulated by outside forces. He questions if life is a difficult gift to bear, but still ponders its beauty and the mysteries that give shape to the passing of time. The chorus encourages listeners to take action and make the most of the time they have left. Despite the uncertainties, they still have the power to change the course of their lives.
Throughout the song, the themes of curiosity, freedom, and the passing of time are explored. The singer urges listeners to remain vigilant, stay curious, and continue asking questions. In a world that is constantly changing, and the future is uncertain, it is essential to make the most of the time that is left. The song's message is clear; we have the power to change our lives for the better, and we must take action to do so.
In summary, Gossos's song Filosofant is a meditation on the uncertain nature of life, the power of curiosity, and the importance of taking action to shape one's destiny. It is an insightful and introspective song that encourages listeners to take stock of their lives and make the most of the time they have.
