Las Luces Se Apagan
Hereford Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Las luces se apagan,
Y las copas ya están vacías
De promesas, de rencores, de olvidos

Tus brazos golpeados
Y tu rostro cansado de buscar
Oídos que escuchen tus penas
La luna que llora
Y los ríos que fluyen sin agua
Cuando olvidas que existo, que existo

Y te vas...
Y no estas y te vas
Y no estas

Palabras que vuelan
Y en mis labios marcados están
Tus besos, tu rostro, tu cuerpo
Mi mente se duerme
Y las lagrimas inundan mis ojos
Y duele saber que te has ido

Y te vas...
Y no estas y te vas
Y no estas y te vas
Y no estas

Mi cama desierta
Sin nubes que quieran llorar
Mi destino, incierto destino

Y te vas...
Y no estas y te vas




Y no estas y te vas
Y no estas

Overall Meaning

The song "Las Luces Se Apagan" by Hereford is a melancholic and reflective piece that talks about the pain of being left behind by someone they love. The lyrics describe the feeling of emptiness that comes after a break-up, when the lights go out and the glasses are empty, symbolizing the end of the party that was their relationship. The singer is left alone, with battered arms and a tired face from seeking comfort and understanding from others who just couldn't provide what was needed. The moon and rivers are crying too, perhaps mirroring the singer's feelings of sadness and longing.


The chorus repeats the words "y te vas, y no estás" which translate to "you leave, and you're not here". This repetition emphasizes the sense of abandonment and loss that the singer is experiencing. The second verse talks about the physical marks that the memory of the relationship has left on the singer's body, and how their mind is consumed with thoughts of the other person. Tears flood their eyes as they realize that the other person has truly left them behind. The final verse is a lament of the present situation and the uncertain future that lies ahead. The bed is empty, and the destiny of the singer is not clear anymore.


Overall, the song portrays a deep sense of sadness and loss, and the pain that comes with heartbreak and abandonment. The powerful metaphors and imagery used in the lyrics accentuate the feelings of emptiness and heartache.
