Cenizas
Jesús Viñas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sobre el asfalto aún mojado
Las calles oscuras, los bares cerrados
Ya paro, ya paro...
Miro hacia atrás, algo desorientado
Acelero el paso cuidando
Prestando atención, con los ojos cerrados
EL HUMO SE ELEVA HACIA EL CIELO
SABE QUE NO HAY NADIE
QUE LE ESTÉ ESPERANDO
Las sombras vuelven a mover
Algo que ya había guardado
Desisto en mi pérdida de seguir buscando
No avanzo, no avanzo...
Miro hacia...
Deberíamos pararnos
Mirar a la vida enfocando
Perder nuestro tiempo intentando
Encontrar el color necesario
EL HUMO SE ELEVA HACIA EL CIELO
SABE QUE NO HAY NADIE
QUE LE ESTÉ ESPERANDO
The lyrics of "Cenizas" by Jesús Viñas are a reflection on the struggles and challenges of life. The song begins with the sounds of raindrops falling on wet asphalt, creating a somber atmosphere. The streets are dark and the bars are closed, indicating a feeling of loneliness and isolation. The artist reflects on his own confusion and disorientation, trying to navigate through the streets with his eyes closed. He wastes his last cigarette, symbolizing a sense of hopelessness and the need for comfort in difficult times.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "El humo se eleva hacia el cielo" (The smoke rises to the sky), suggesting a sense of release and letting go of one's troubles. The smoke represents the burdens and worries that people carry with them, but by rising to the sky, they are no longer weighing them down. The lyrics continue with a reflection on the importance of taking time to appreciate life and finding the positive amidst the struggles. It is a call to stop and focus on what is truly important, even if it means losing time and searching for something that brings joy and color to life.
Overall, "Cenizas" is a poignant and introspective song that touches on themes of isolation, loss, and the search for meaning in life.
