Vestit de Melelada
Gossos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
sento que el temps passa i tu no ets amb mi.
Cansat de jugar, tot sol amb la mà,
malgastant vides que tu no voldràs.
No em vas triar, te'n vas voler anar,
em vas deixar sol amb la nit al costat
i ara somicant davant del mirall
m'has trencat el cor i te'n vas.
i jo no hi podia fer res.
Qui sap si jo et puc donar sort
treiem-nos de sobre aquest fred.
Potser demà, tot camviarà,
despertaràs del teu somni daurat.
Potser demà, l'estel fugaç
et dirà que has de fer amb el passat.
No t'embrutis el vestit de melmelada
no t'embrutis el vestit, nena embruixada.
The lyrics of Gossos's song "Vestit de Melmelada" convey a sense of longing and heartbreak in the absence of a loved one. The singer expresses feeling like every morning seems like a night, portraying a metaphorical darkness and emptiness without the presence of the person they desire. They feel the passage of time keenly, emphasizing the absence of their loved one by stating "sento que el temps passa i tu no ets amb mi" (I feel that time passes and you are not with me).
The lyrics touch upon themes of loneliness and abandonment, with the singer expressing weariness from playing games alone with their hand, wasting days in a way that their absent lover would not want. The decision to leave was not made by the singer, but rather by the person they desired, leaving them alone in the night. The imagery of being left alone with the night suggests a sense of isolation and emotional darkness that the singer is experiencing.
The mention of dream and reflection in front of a mirror adds a layer of introspection to the lyrics. The singer dreams in front of the mirror, possibly reflecting on their own pain and heartbreak caused by the departure of their loved one. The heartbreak is palpable as the lyrics express that their heart has been broken by the departure of the person they cared for.
The final lines of the song advise against tarnishing oneself with jelly (melmelada), metaphorically implying not to wallow in sadness or hurt. The suggestion to shake off the coldness and maybe, tomorrow, things will change, hints at a glimmer of hope for a better future despite the current pain. The repetition of "Potser demà" (perhaps tomorrow) signifies a sense of optimism and the possibility of healing and moving forward. The overall message of the song seems to encourage letting go of the past, avoiding getting stuck in sadness, and looking towards the hope of a brighter tomorrow.
