La Queremos
Juan Gris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y pensar que ya no estás
He abierto nuevas heridas
Contigo
Frío puñal
Aniquilas mi control
Drogas y soledad
De inventarme alguien como tú
Mi hogar hecho de fuego
De tanto quemar
Mirando nuestra destrucción
Hoy vuelvo a descubrir
Una extraña melancolía
Quisiera no sentir
La tristeza de este invierno
Y volar
Sopla el viento a mi lado
Y pensar que ya no estás
He abierto nuevas heridas
Contigo
Frío puñal
Aniquilas mi control
Drogas y soledad
Alimentan esta noche la ansiedad
De inventarme alguien como tú
Mi hogar hecho de fuego
De tanto quemar
Mirando nuestra destrucción
Hoy vuelvo a descubrir
Una extraña melancolía
Quisiera no sentir
La tristeza de este invierno
Y volar
The lyrics to Juan Gris's song La Queremos convey a sense of loss, pain and longing for someone who is no longer there. The wind blowing next to the singer symbolizes the emptiness that has replaced the person who has left. The lyrics go on to describe the scars that the person has left behind, both physical and emotional. The individual feels like a cold knife has destroyed their sense of control, and they turn to drugs and loneliness to escape the pain. They try to invent someone like the person they've lost, but their attempts are futile.
The second verse is even more poignant, as the lyrics describe the destruction that has been wrought on the singer's life. They allude to a home that has been burned down, and it's implied that the relationship they had with the person they lost is what caused the destruction. The imagery intensifies as the singer describes the strange melancholy they're feeling, one they wish they could escape. The song ends on a note of longing to fly away and escape the sadness of winter - a symbol that represents the coldness in the singer's heart.
Overall, La Queremos is a powerful and emotional song that conveys a sense of loss and pain in a poignant way. Through its vivid imagery, the lyrics evoke the sorrow and emptiness that comes from losing someone you love.
