Sólo dame tiempo
Juan Gris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
de algún sueño vas pensando
por el camino que te lleva a la fábrica
vas trazando en lo invisible
algún plan que pueda rescatarte
a ser mejor
hoy debo cargar con esta estúpida y triste corona
la ambición de la máquina que sólo quiere devorarte
tú estás mas allá
tú estas mas allá
de esas cuatro paredes.
The lyrics of Juan Gris's song Sólo Dame Tiempo speak to the struggle of piecing together a broken dream. The first line, "toma tiempo armar los pedazos," translates to "it takes time to put the pieces together." The lyrics suggest that the singer is on a journey to rescue their dream, as they are "vas trazando en lo invisible algún plan que pueda rescatarte" or "tracing some invisible plan that can rescue you." The use of the word "invisible" suggests that the plan is not yet clear, but the singer is determined to find a way.
The singer acknowledges that the journey will take time, as they ask for time to learn how to be a better person: "sólo dame tiempo para aprender a ser mejor." They are carrying the weight of a "stupid and sad crown" that represents the ambition of the machine that seeks to consume them. However, the person they are speaking to is beyond the four walls that represent their current situation, and the singer suggests that they too can be free from these constraints.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of determination to overcome a broken dream and the obstacles that stand in the way. The singer is willing to put in the time and effort necessary to rescue their dream and become a better person.
