Karamelo Santo was born in Mendoza / Argentina in 1993 and ever since then developed their own unique musical style. They achieved to gather around them a fanatic crowd of fans from all over the world, ever more since they successfully toured in Europe with "Los Guachos" in 2002. This milestone marked the beginning of a long and deep relationship of the band with the “old continent”, that every year challenges the most established cultural barriers and has permitted them to become one of the best-known representatives of Latin American music in Europe
La experiencia del desierto
Karamelo Santo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mi corazón, tampoco responde;
estoy tan alucinado que puedo verte y no estás presente.
La experiencia del desierto consiste en refugiarnos,
si estoy muerto o estoy vivo,
los dioses vuelven a preguntarme.
¿¡Cuánto cielo tienes para darme!?
Que al fin siento que mi interior se expande;
esta es mi obsesión, ¡mi religión!
La experiencia del desierto consiste en refugiarnos,
si estoy muerto o estoy vivo,
los dioses vuelven a preguntarme.
¿¡Cuánto cielo tienes para darme!?
Que al fin siento que mi interior se expande;
tanto quise dar este momento;
esta es mi obsesión, ¡mi religión!
The lyrics of Karamelo Santo's song La experiencia del desierto speak about experiencing an intense state of mind where the individual is disconnected from reality, and their heart is not responding, causing their vision to be blurred. This experience is referred to as "the desert experience," and the singer believes that it involves seeking refuge. The gods or higher powers tend to question the singer, whether they are alive or dead. The singer seeks to understand the depth of the universe or the sky and wants to immerse themself in it.
The singer shares that this moment is what they were searching for with great intensity, like an obsession or a religion. The experience has given them a sense of expansion of their interior, which they had been longing to achieve. The lyrics do not give any indication of what kind of experience has led the singer to this moment of enlightenment, but it's clear that this experience has had a tremendous impact on them.
The song's interpretation is subjective and may vary from person to person. Some people could interpret the lyrics as a reference to a spiritual awakening, a psychedelic experience, or a personal journey of self-discovery.
