Mira Hacia Atrás
Hamlet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mira hacia atrás, why observa donde quieres llegar.
Que sientes, vas a seguir, oculto tras un falso disfraz.
Te mientes, felicidad,
tan cerca que la puedes tocar.
ignoras que puede ser, tan solo lo que quieres creer.
Despierta. (5x)

Quiero pensar que algo debe significar.
Sin duda, pero why despúes, si solo es algo superficial.
Despierta. (4x)

¡Odiame!. (4x)
¡Quiéreme!. (4x)

Mira hacia atrás why déjalo estar. (2x)

Sobrevivir a costa del que no tiene más,
que a el mismo,
sin lamentar que apenas ha podido pensar,
si es justo.





Mira hacia atrás. (4x)
Despierta. (4x)

Overall Meaning

The song "Mira Hacia Atrás," also known as "Look Back," is performed by Hamlet, a Spanish metal band. The lyrics of the song speak about one's inner turmoil and the struggle to find happiness in life. The first stanza urges the listener to look back and observe where they want to go in life. The second line speaks about how one hides behind a false disguise, implying that people tend to put up a facade to conform to societal expectations. The third line talks about self-deception, where one lies to themselves about their happiness, and the fourth line suggests that happiness is within reach and can be felt but often ignored.


The singer then urges the listener to "despierta," meaning "Wake up" in English. This line is repeated four times, indicating that the singer wants the listener to become aware of their life's reality. In the second stanza, the singer says that they want to believe that something is meaningful without it being superficial, but again, the song suggests that this could be self-deception.


The refrain "Odíame" and "Quiéreme" means "Hate me" and "Love me," respectively. These lines show the singer's frustration and despair, indicating that they crave love despite their obvious flaws. The final stanza speaks to the societal oppression that comes at the expense of other people. The last line of the song is a repeat of the first line, once again suggesting that one should look back to move forward.
