Amigo
Julio y Agosto Lyrics

The lyrics of Julio y Agosto's song Amigo are open to interpretation, but they seem to be about a shared meal between two friends where one friend is going through a difficult time and doesn't want to talk about it. The line "Comamos como come un animal" (Let's eat like an animal) suggests that they should just focus on eating and forget about conversation. The singer acknowledges that there is a lot of cleaning up to do, possibly referring to their messy emotional situations, but for now they are content to just sit in silence and perfect the "art of quiet warfare" (perhaps referring to the struggle of keeping emotions under control).

The second verse seems to continue this theme of emotional turmoil and the desire to escape. The singer sees that their friend is struggling and doesn't want them to cry, so they suggest they run like an animal. The line "Buscando agua en la distancia" (Searching for water in the distance) could be a metaphor for seeking relief or comfort in something far away or unattainable. The lines about the plaza full of traitors and the patio full of words suggest a larger context of betrayal and broken promises, from which the singer is trying to escape.

Overall, the song seems to be about the difficulties of dealing with complex emotions and the desire to escape from them. The meal between the friends is a temporary respite from these struggles, but they both know that there is still much to be dealt with.
