Uno
Karma C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Puedes ver todo volver a brillar
Sabes que todo va a empezar
Como si fueras nuevo en la ciudad
Aún no conoces nada a tu alrededor
Aunque en mi cartera aún guardo tu polaroid
Y yo me siento como un niño que sale al parque a jugar
Aún recuerdo aquellas noches que hablábamos por WhatsApp
Donde pensábamos lo lejos que podíamos llegar
Que podíamos llegar
I never thought she was legendary but it took me 90 Ultraballs
To catch her
You are like Bulbasaur cause you are the number one
I know you are training water Pokémon
Cause you always so wet babe
I lie myself, I pretend I′m not in love
Cause I'm afraid that I′m not the only one
That guys are fuckboys, they tryna catch 'em all
That guys are fuckboys, they tryna fuck 'em all
I never thought she was legendary but it took me 90 Ultraballs
To catch her
I never thought she was legendary but it took me 90 Ultraballs
To catch her
The lyrics to Karma C's song "Uno" describe a sense of renewal and starting over after a period of darkness. The imagery of seeing everything "shine" and feeling like a new person in a familiar place is juxtaposed with the idea that the singer's world has still been impacted by the presence of someone from their past (as illustrated by the mention of a Polaroid photo). Despite this, there is a feeling of excitement and anticipation for what is to come - the idea that something "big" is on the horizon and the singer feels childlike in their sense of wonder and curiosity.
The second part of the song takes a bit of a different turn, with references to the video game franchise Pokemon. The metaphor of catching a Pokemon (specifically, a "legendary" one) is used to describe the difficulty of pursuing a romantic interest. The singer is conflicted between their feelings of love and their fear of not being the only one vying for the attention of their crush. The line about "water Pokemon" adds a sexual innuendo to the song, further emphasizing the idea of chasing after something desired.
Overall, the song seems to be about the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The lyrics use vivid imagery and pop culture references to convey a sense of longing and anticipation, while also acknowledging the fear and hesitation that can come with pursuing someone you care about.
