EL CUADRO II
Heroes del Silencio (Senderos de Traición) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mis ojos van al cuadro
Algo se ha iluminado
Y en su interior las figuras danzan
Me miran fijamente y se agrandan

Mi cuerpo pesa menos
Siento que me elevo
Las pistolas de warhol

Sin munición
Se nubla en mi cerebro la situación

Rodeado por miradas
Algo difuminadas
Y admito los colores de su interior
Y sufre mi figura la transformación

Y aquellos ojos blancos
Me vuelvo hacia su lado
Me obligan a sentirme así
Están tras de ti
Están tras de ti
Mis ojos van al cuadro
Algo se ha iluminado
Y en su interior las figuras danzan
Me miran fijamente y se agrandan

Mi cuerpo pesa menos
Siento que me elevo
Las pistolas de warhol
Sin munición
Se nubla en mi cerebro la situación

Rodeado por miradas
Algo difuminadas
Y admito los colores de su interior
Y sufre mi figura la transformación.

Y aquellos ojos blancos
Me vuelvo hacia su lado
Me obligan a sentirme así

Están tras de ti
Están tras de ti

Overall Meaning

The song "El Cuadro II" by Heroes del Silencio (Senderos de Traición) is a haunting and surreal exploration of the transformative power of art. The lyrics describe the singer's experience of looking at a painting (el cuadro) and being mesmerized by the movement and presence of the figures within it. As they look closer, the singer begins to feel as though they are being drawn into the painting, and their perception of reality begins to blur.

The song uses vivid and evocative imagery to convey this sense of disorientation and alienation. The figures in the painting are described as "dancing" and "growing larger" as the singer becomes more entranced, and the colors within the painting seem to spill out into the real world. The use of the phrase "pistolas de Warhol" (Warhol's guns) suggests a sense of danger and violence lurking beneath the surface of the painting, and the line "están tras de ti" (they are behind you) creates a sense of paranoia and unease.

Overall, "El Cuadro II" is a powerful testament to the magnetic and transformative power of art. The painting becomes a portal to another world, drawing the singer deeper and deeper into its depths until their perception of reality begins to warp and shift.
