Voy A Tirarme A Los Vicios
Industria Del Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voy a hecharme a la desgracia
Por una mujer querida
Anada mi amor navegando
Pues ella tiene la culpa
Que yo me ande emborrachando
No anduviera asi penando
Yo me quejaria con ella
La vida que ando pasando
De cantina por cantina
Como las piedras rodando
Quiero quitarme la vida
Para ya no andar penando
Para que seguir viviendo
Con el alma durizando
Yo comprendo que esta vida
Para mi sale sobrando
Quisiera verte y no verte
Pera no estar tan engreido
Quisiera darme la muerte
En los brazos del olvido
Valia mas haberme muerto
Y no haberte conocido
Voy a tirarme a los vivios
The lyrics of Industria del Amor's song Voy A Tirarme A Los Vicios, translated to English, talk about a man who is about to give up on life, drown his sorrows and throw himself into a life of addiction due to the end of a relationship with a woman who he loved dearly. He blames her for his drinking and goes on to say that if his mother were alive, he wouldn't be living in such misery. He talks about wandering from one bar to another, wishing to end his life and suffering from a soul that's growing harder because of his self-destructive path. In the end, he wishes to see his former love but not to feel so vain and false anymore. He accepts that his life seems to be worthless to him and that he would have been better off dying than meeting her.
The lyrics represent the pain, suffering, and emptiness that people undergo when they lose someone they deeply love. The singer in the song decides to drown his sorrows in alcohol and addiction, which is a common reaction to intense emotional discomfort in today's world of stress and relationships. The mention of the mother indicates that the man is aware of his self-destructive behavior and its impact on his loved ones. Nevertheless, his pain is overpowering, and he doesn't know how to handle it. The lyrics try to bring out the message that when we lose somebody, we have two options - to hang on to the memories or to try to forget them, and the singer in the song chooses the latter.
