La Kebradita
Instituto Mexicano Del Sonido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All lost and long gone now
It's hard to remember anything moving at the speed of sound
Moving with the speed of sound
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
In that somehow I'll survive
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a sun that just don't come
And live a lie?
I could give it one more try
Why deny this drive inside, just looking for some peace
Every time I get me some it gets the best of me
I'm not much left, you see
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
And that, somehow I'll survive
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a word that never comes
A whisper in the dark
Is that you or just my thoughts
I'm wide awake and reaching out
It's gone so quiet now
Could it be I'm farther out?
Movin' faster than the speed of sound
The lyrics of "La Kebradita" by Instituto Mexicano Del Sonido speak about the feelings of nostalgia and longing for a distant past. The line, "yesterdays, how quick they change," suggests that time passes rapidly, and it's difficult to hold onto memories. The singer talks about holding onto a dream of distant light, which represents a better time and a hopeful future. However, he is aware that this dream might be just an illusion, and he questions if he can live a lie by pretending everything is okay.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "moving with the speed of sound" several times. This line implies that time and life move quickly, and sometimes we struggle to keep up. The singer is waiting for something to change, but it's not happening. He wonders if he can forgive what he cannot forget and move on. He admits to feeling exhausted and worn down, but he still holds onto the hope that he will survive and find peace eventually.

Yesterdays, how quick they change
The past is constantly changing and disappearing
All lost and long gone now
Everything from the past is gone and can never be retrieved
It's hard to remember anything moving at the speed of sound
It's difficult to remember something that moved faster than we could perceive or understand
Moving with the speed of sound
Moving extremely fast, faster than anything humanly possible
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
I still hold on to hope of achieving something great and far away
In that somehow I'll survive
There is hope that I will overcome whatever is thrown at me
But this night has been a long one
The night feels endless and overwhelming
Waiting on a sun that just don't come
Waiting for something that will never arrive
Can I forgive what I cannot forget
Is it possible to let go and move on from something that is unforgettable?
And live a lie?
Should I pretend that everything is okay when it's not?
I could give it one more try
I may attempt once more to solve this problem
Why deny this drive inside, just looking for some peace
Why would I ignore this relentless ambition to find peace?
Every time I get me some it gets the best of me
Every time I find peace, it doesn't last for long and leaves me feeling worse than before
I'm not much left, you see
I'm drained of energy and almost have nothing left
And that, somehow I'll survive
I still have hope that I will make it through this difficult time
But this night has been a long one
The night continues with no end in sight
Waiting on a word that never comes
Expecting some sort of resolution that may never happen
A whisper in the dark
A faint sound heard in the darkness
Is that you or just my thoughts
I can't tell if the sound is real or simply my imagination
I'm wide awake and reaching out
I am fully alert and trying to make contact
It's gone so quiet now
Suddenly, everything is silent and still
Could it be I'm farther out?
Perhaps I have lost my way and am now further from the direction I want to go
Movin' faster than the speed of sound
Moving so quickly that it feels like an impossible feat
