No Es Tu Sombra
Illya Kuryaki And The Valderramas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pues ya no tengo límites, lo hago
Imprescindible
Que sería de ésta vez o aquella
Si toda mi vida hubiese sido una belleza
Siento mi peso correr, el estado de mi mente
No se echó todo a perder
Busco remediar una cicatriz, belleza espiritual
Una saga creando la llaga terrestre
Me quiero encontrar en el lado eficiente
Perdí un tiempo, gané un sentido
Estuve sentado, partido, resentido
Escuchando el aire aprendí a elegir
Mis relatos ordenados comenzaron a regir
La esencia está cerca de tu temor
Destruye el imperio del gran tumor
Algo se refleja y no es tu sombra
Hay una chica vestida de blanco
Es inútil acercarse, su mente está girando
Alrededor de una lengua que observa, la lame
La zorra es tan idiota que cae y cae
No existe el viaje a tales pensamientos
Justificar el vacío puede ser algo lento
La nieve no es blanca, con esto te alcanza
Me dijo tendrás que saberlo en la balanza
Los grandes ojos de un dios negro
Me influenciaron a fabricar cuero
Pienso volver al lugar y romper la pared que
Creaste
Riendo ahogaste la fe
Porque buscaste algo tan evidente
No te das cuenta, soy un ente
The lyrics to Illya Kuryaki And The Valderramas's song No Es Tu Sombra speak to the idea of searching for meaning and purpose in life. The singer of the song feels like they have no limits and must continue pushing themselves to find their true essence. They reflect on how their life may have been different if it had always been pleasant and easy, but recognize the importance of their struggles and scars in shaping their spiritual beauty and legacy. They want to be efficient in their pursuit of self-discovery and have learned to choose their own path.
The chorus of the song, "Algo se refleja y no es tu sombra," which translates to "Something is reflected and it's not your shadow," speaks to the idea that there is more to a person than what they project or what others perceive. The second verse describes a girl who appears to be trapped in her own thoughts and desires, using a metaphor of a tongue that continually licks and observes. The singer of the song suggests that justifying emptiness and searching for something obvious is pointless, and that true understanding requires a balance.
The final verse references the influence of a "black god" and expresses the desire to break down walls and regain lost faith. The song concludes with the assertion that the singer is not just a physical being, but an entity with untold potential.

Hay temas y discos que son una joya. Estos eran unos pibes cuando lo hicieron. Sencillamente un discazo de la música latinoamericana.
