Directo a tu corazón
Kokoshca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi fe y mi religión
por ti, mi amor
Convertí mi religión
en algo que sólo tiene un fiel
y solamente tiene un Dios
he construido un altar en mi habitación
cuento los días que faltan para la redención
Y así, seguí y conseguí
tu amor que es ahora, mi adicción
Así es amor, así estoy yo
¿Es adicción o es obsesión?
Y quiero que sepas que
cuando digas me marcharé
No quiero ser otra foto en tu pared
Subo por tus piernas que se juntan en tu interior
y subo por tus venas que suben a, directas a
Directas a tu corazón
Voy directo al sujetador
Voy directo a tu corazón
The lyrics to Kokoshca's song, "Directo a tu Corazón" describe a love that has become all-consuming for the singer. They have put their faith and religion aside in order to channel that devotion into their love for their partner. The singer describes constructing an altar in their bedroom, counting the days until they can be reunited with their love, and feeling as if their partner is a divine presence to them. The singer goes on to declare that their love has become an addiction, an obsession that they cannot walk away from. They make it clear to their partner that they do not want to simply be another person in their life but instead want to be a central figure, someone who gets to the heart of the matter.
The song hints at the idea that love can take on a fervor similar to a religion or faith. The singer seems to have elevated their partner to the status of a deity, with intense devotion and a desire to be close to them in every way possible. The lyrics also suggest that love can become an addiction, something that can take hold and be hard to shake off. The singer acknowledges the distinction between love as an addiction or an obsession, leaving it open to interpretation.
Overall, "Directo a tu Corazón" is a passionate, intense love song that explores the depth of emotion that can come with a powerful connection with another person.

Voy directo a tu corazón
Straight to your heart, I go. Straight to your bra, I go. Straight to your heart.

Después de unos cuantos años sigo disfrutando de esta gran obra como el primer día. Qué maravilla de reciclaje audiovisual! Uno de los mejores videoclips de los últimos años y de los más desconocidos.
