Amigo
La Condena de Caín Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

¿Quién pinta el cuadro?
No lo sé.
No es lo importante.
Si todo lo que soy, es porque fuimos junto a vos.
Decís amar la libertad, ¿por qué encerrarte?
(Si la muerte es un futuro estable...)

El miedo no sabe imaginar.

Deja ser los dados al rodar.

No te escapes más, mi amigo, de este amanecer.
Enfrentemos el espejo hoy.
Brindar siempre en la sonrisa, esa es nuestra sed.
Nuestra distorsión nos guía al sol.

Y si vivir es inventar en el desierto.
Deja que tu voz encienda el silencio.
No, no repitas el chiste ya (esa es la trampa)
Una máscara será nuestra calma.

Allá va tu estrella, dibujando huellas.
Y un astro apuesta por una nueva canción.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Condena de Caín's song "Amigo" explore themes of self-discovery, freedom, and the power of friendship. The song begins with the question "¿Quién pinta el cuadro?" ("Who paints the picture?"), indicating a search for identity and purpose. The singer acknowledges that they don't know the answer and states that it is not important because everything they are is a result of their journey with their friend. It questions the idea of claiming to love freedom but still choosing to confine oneself, perhaps referring to the fear of stepping out of one's comfort zone.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of facing oneself and reflecting in the mirror, as well as finding joy in the smiles they share. The line "Nuestra distorsión nos guía al sol" ("Our distortion guides us to the sun") suggests that embracing one's flaws and uniqueness can lead to personal growth and happiness.

The lyrics encourage the friend to stop escaping from the dawn, implying that it's time to confront reality and embrace change. It touches upon the idea that living is like inventing in the desert, implying the need to create one's own path and not conform to societal expectations. The line "Deja que tu voz encienda el silencio" ("Let your voice ignite the silence") encourages the friend to express themselves and break free from the constraints of silence. The mask mentioned in the last verse represents a false sense of calm and warns against falling into its trap.
