Sentimental
Kaos Etiliko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mas que meros sentimientos.
Para que mis palabras
no se las llevara el viento.
Porque en la noche
cualquier gato es negro.
se queda en el recuerdo.
Parece que hoy en día
triunfa el embustero.
De su boca una frase,
no le gustan los rodeos.
Se tu mismo chaval,
no les sigas el juego.
Porque acaba quemándose
el que juega con fuego.
Deja a un lado todo
por un momento.
Haz que salga fuera
lo que llevas dentro. (Bis)
Ella apoya su espalda en un cristal,
la mirada perdida algo va mal.
Ahora me fijo en el, mejor no hablar,
con sus putas lágrimas, se podría hacer un mar.
Pobre julai,
la acaba de cagar.
Después de mentirle,
se pone a llorar.
Deja a un lado...
The song "Sentimental" by Kaos Etiliko is a powerful reflection on the importance of honesty and sincere communication in relationships. The first stanza speaks to the difficulty of expressing one's emotions and the fear that they will be disregarded or ignored. The repetition of the phrase "no se las llevara el viento" ("so that my words wouldn't be carried away by the wind") underscores the importance of being heard and understood. The song then moves on to criticize those who prioritize lying and deception in their interactions with others. The line "Se tu mismo chaval, no les sigas el juego" ("Be yourself, don't play their game") urges listeners to resist the pressure to conform to societal expectations or to engage in manipulative behavior for personal gain.
The second stanza introduces a specific scenario in which a woman appears to be experiencing emotional distress. The line "con sus putas lágrimas, se podría hacer un mar" ("with her fucking tears, she could make a sea") is particularly striking, both for its graphic imagery and the anger behind it. The final two lines, "Pobre julai, la acaba de cagar. Después de mentirle, se pone a llorar" ("Poor fool, he just messed up. After lying to her, he starts crying") depict a person who has lied and betrayed someone, and is now feeling the emotional consequences. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, encouraging listeners to take a moment to reflect on their own emotional lives and to be true to themselves.
