Soldados caídos
IV Manos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya verás, te arruina la vida
Mira que te quiero de verdad
Pero yo no miro para atrás
No miro para atrás
Y por estar en paz
Has dejado lo que te ha forjado
Si tu brillo ya no está
Tu me hablaste de poder ser quien yo quiera ser
Para cuando quieras reaccionar. no puedo estar
Y por estar en paz
Has dejado lo que te ha forjado
Que importa lo que digan los demás
Si tu brillo ya no está
Tu me hablaste de poder ser quien yo quiera ser
Para cuando quieras reaccionar. no puedo estar
The lyrics to IV Manos's song Soldados Caídos are deeply introspective and address the idea of standing still and allowing oneself to fail. The first lines, "Estar de pié en la salida te obliga a fracasar, Ya verás, te arruina la vida" (Standing still at the starting line obliges you to fail, you'll see, it ruins your life), highlight the idea that not taking action or moving forward in life can ultimately result in failure and ruin. The repetition of "no miro para atrás" (I don't look back) emphasizes the importance of looking forward and not dwelling on past mistakes or regrets.
The chorus of the song, "Y por estar en paz, Has dejado lo que te ha forjado, Que importa lo que digan los demás, Si tu brillo ya no está" (And for the sake of peace, you have left behind what has forged you, why care what others say if your spark is gone), suggests that sometimes sacrificing one's own growth and ambitions for the sake of avoiding conflict or maintaining peace can result in losing one's passion and purpose in life. The song then ends on a note of resignation, as the singer pleads with someone who had urged them to pursue their dreams, "Tu me hablaste de poder ser quien yo quiera ser, Para cuando quieras reaccionar. no puedo estar" (You talked to me about being able to be whoever I want to be. For when you want to react, I can't be there).
Overall, the song speaks to the importance of taking risks and following one's dreams, and the potential consequences of not doing so.
