Imbateriable
Jirafa Ardiendo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo mío es traición al aire.
Ausente, no quiero regresar al lado de mi sombra sin color.
Y subo a cazar, voces para hablar,
creo a pesar del cuerpo, doy un alto,
Voy recuperando la calma perdida.
Sin dolor, voy anunciándome,
una pizca más, una pizca más.
doy brazos hacia el sol, cambio para ver,
salto para estar, y subo a cazar, voces para hablar,
veo que a pesar del cuerpo, queda un resplandor
y marcas que cerrar.
Me respiro,
vuelvo, bajo.
No estoy solo.
In Jirafa Ardiendo's song "Imbateriable," the lyrics convey a sense of defiance and refusal to conform. The singer declares their decision to renounce the ground they walk on, symbolizing a rejection of the familiar and comfortable. They see their allegiance lies with the treacherous air, suggesting a desire to break free from societal norms and expectations.
Feeling absent, the singer expresses their unwillingness to return to a life devoid of color, represented by their somber shadow. Instead, they embark on a hunt for voices to speak up for their beliefs and convictions. Despite the limitations of their physical body, they continue to strive and give themselves a respite, gradually regaining lost tranquility.
Confidently announcing their presence without pain, they acknowledge that even a small step forward is progress, and they are determined to push themselves a bit further. The line "Cuando un 'no' es rendición" (When a 'no' is surrender) suggests that the singer refuses to succumb to defeat or conformity. They reach out towards the sun, symbolizing a desire for self-transformation and enlightenment.
The singer is aware that despite their physical limitations, there is still a glimmer of light and unfinished matters to attend to. They take a moment to breathe, implying a moment of self-reflection and rejuvenation. They acknowledge their return, but this time they descend, suggesting a humbling realization, perhaps that they cannot always be in control. The final line, "No estoy solo" (I am not alone), hints at the presence of others who share their rebellious spirit, reminding them that they are not isolated in their pursuit of individuality and freedom.
