Karkade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dentro de ti hay una revolución
Lo demás es que a este paso
la estamos esperando en vano
Dime cómo vamos a hacer
Tú y yo solos la revolución
Que nunca deja de hablar
Después de tantos años
Ya no nos dicen nada
Dime cómo vamos a hacer
Tú y yo solos la revolución
Puedo verlo en sus ojos
Ya no sienten sus palabras
Y después de tantos años
Siguen sin decirnos nada
Dime qué vamos a hacer
Tú y yo solos en nuestra revolución
Dime cómo vamos a hacer
Tú y yo solos la revolución
The lyrics of Karkade's song "Blues" convey a sense of disillusionment with the status quo and a desire for change. The singer can see the desire for revolution in the eyes of those around them, but feels that progress is not being made. The repetition of the line "Tú y yo solos la revolución" (You and I alone the revolution) emphasizes the individual responsibility for making change happen.
The song seems to be directed at those who talk a lot about change but don't follow through with action. The line "Y toda esa gente / Que nunca deja de hablar / Después de tantos años /Ya no nos dicen nada" (And all those people / Who never stop talking / After so many years /They don't tell us anything anymore) expresses frustration with those who talk without taking action. The repeated use of "después de tantos años" (after so many years) suggests that the singer has been waiting a long time for change to happen.
The final lines of the song, "Puedo verlo en sus ojos / Ya no sienten sus palabras / Y después de tantos años / Siguen sin decirnos nada" (I can see it in their eyes / They no longer feel their words / And after so many years / They still don't tell us anything) suggest that the singer is losing faith in those who have been talking about change but not making it happen. The repeated use of "después de tantos años" emphasizes that this sense of disillusionment has been building up over a long period of time.
Overall, "Blues" conveys a sense of frustration with the slow pace of change and a desire for individual action to make a difference. It is a call to action for those who see the need for change and are willing to take the necessary steps.
