Automaticamente
LUIS BREA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
se va tragando a la gente
y todo ocurre despacio:
deriva, continente.
Mañaneo en el ático
va llegando la gente
y todo ocurre despacio
un problema de tráfico
de estupefacientes yo se más que tú.
Porque hay algo dentro de mi
que funciona automáticamente.
Hay algo dentro de mi
que funciona automáticamente.
Pa-pa-ra-ra-paun pa-pa-pa-pá-pa
La morena del fondo va de puta madre,
hizo todo lo necesario pero algo ha vuelto a pasarle.
La amiguita rebusca
con la manita en el bolso
enciende un cigarrillo
y se pone,
se pone a invitarme ¡oh!
Porque hay algo dentro de mi
que funciona automáticamente.
Hay algo dentro de mi
que funciona automáticamente.
Pa-pa-ra-ra-paun pa-pa-pa-pá-pa
¿Por qué no te vas a casa?
ya son menos veinte.
Porque no me da la gana, basicamente.
Como no puedo ser bueno ni inteligente
me dedico a ser malo sistemáticamente.
Porque hay algo dentro de mi
que funciona automáticamente.
Hay algo dentro de mi
que funciona automáticamente.
Pa-pa-ra-ra-pa-pa-paun pa-pa-pa-pá-pa
Automática
¡me gustas tú!
Automática
¡me gustas tú!
Automática
¡me gustas tú!
Y tú, y tú, y tú y solamente tú.
FIN
The song Automáticamente by LUIS BREA reflects the theme of losing oneself to the fast-paced and monotonous nature of city life. The opening lines "La ciudad de plástico / se va tragando a la gente" ("The plastic city / is swallowing up the people") depict how the city has become a materialistic and artificial construct, devoid of genuine human connection. The second verse talks about how people in the city have become so used to the slow-moving traffic that they accept it as a part of their routine. The reference to drug trafficking implies that even illegal activities have become mechanized and ingrained in the system of the city.
The chorus "Porque hay algo dentro de mi / que funciona automáticamente" ("Because there's something inside me / that functions automatically") suggests that the singer has also become a product of the city, going through the motions of life without thinking or feeling. The reference to the girl who made all the necessary changes but still faces setbacks highlights the futility of trying to control one's life in a world that functions mechanically. The last verse implies that the singer's behavior has become a defense mechanism against the oppressive nature of city life, with lines like "Como no puedo ser bueno ni inteligente / me dedico a ser malo sistemáticamente" ("Since I can't be good or intelligent / I dedicate myself to being bad systematically").
Overall, the song Automáticamente speaks to how people can get lost in the robotic nature of modern urban life, leading to a disconnection from their emotions and humanity.
