Julia
Kiltro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Creatures of darkness haunt the places you walk
And float like breath on the lotus
I've seen her myself my friend and if you'll believe
I swear one night I'd awoken
Julia
Julia
Where were you goin'
The light it comes home
The light it comes home
The light it comes home
Where you lead
Somewhere down the bank where the dogs go
Por la calle que te lleva a Curicó
And down the beach, where no others can find
Ni por agua, piso, coche, ni avión
I swore
That in my heart
My heart of hearts
I've seen you there
I've seen you there
I've seen you at the spot where the ships don't go
A Curicó
And down where the moonlight drapes the tips of the leaves
Creatures of darkness haunting out by the reeds
You'd swear that death was upon us
In words from a half-dream
Those mutters in half-speech
Pale as she'd spoken
Julia
Julia
I guess you need a light where you're goin
Cos somewhere down the bank where the dogs go
Por la calle que te lleva a Curicó
And down the beach, where no others can find
Ni por agua, piso, coche, ni avión
I swore
That in my heart
My heart of hearts
I've seen you there
I've seen you there
I've seen you at the spot where the ships don't go
The lyrics to Kiltro’s song “Curicó” are haunting and mysterious. The song speaks to the idea of a person or entity, in this case Julia, who is both present and elusive. Julia is seen in different places that are difficult to reach or are not typically traveled. The references to “down where the water meets the legs of the dock” and “down the beach, where no others can find” are eerie descriptions of places that are not frequented by many.
The first verse speaks of creatures that “haunt the places you walk” and a woman who is seen floating “like breath on the lotus.” However, the woman disappears as quickly as she appears, leaving the singer to question where she was going. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “the light it comes home” several times along with the question “where you lead,” indicating a search for the light and for Julia.
In the second verse, the singer again speaks of seeing Julia in unusual places, specifically “where the dogs go” and “at the spot where the ships don’t go.” The final lines of the song repeat that phrase, indicating that the search for Julia and the light is ongoing.

Down where the water meets the legs of the dock
At the place where the water meets the legs of the dock
Creatures of darkness haunt the places you walk
There are creatures of darkness that haunt your path
And float like breath on the lotus
They are as light as breath and move like a lotus
I've seen her myself my friend and if you'll believe
I have seen her myself my friend and if you believe me
I swear one night I'd awoken
I swear that one night I woke up

Por la calle que te lleva a Curicó
By the street that takes you to Curicó
And down the beach, where no others can find

A Curicó
In Curicó
And down where the moonlight drapes the tips of the leaves
In the place where the moonlight falls on the leaves
Creatures of darkness haunting out by the reeds
Creatures of darkness haunt by the reeds
You'd swear that death was upon us
You would believe that death was upon us
In words from a half-dream
In words spoken in a half-dream
Those mutters in half-speech
Those whispers in incomplete language
Pale as she'd spoken
As if she had spoken them palely

I guess you need a light where you're goin
I assume you need a light where you are going

Down where the water meets the tips of the leaves
All of my nights
All of them here
Say had you wondered what that light was afar
Watch what you say
But say what you are
I’ve been alight with apparitions of death
Oh well
My mind has left
And my life is only threads
My life is only threads
Por la noche que persigo
Yo me quedo en Curicó
Ni por agua
Ni por piso
Ni por coche
Ni avión
Por la noche que ya viene
Yo me quedo en Curicó
