La Costa Brava Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quedaba un beso por gastar y ese día no recibí visitas.
Como un ahogado que hablaba de amor y el mar le dió la razón.
Como un ahogado que hablaba de amor y el mar le dió la razón.
Todos los latidos de mi vida, que quedará de ellos.
Prefiero que se sepa la verdad, nunca estuve a gusto a lo largo de mi vida.
Como un ahogado que hablaba de amor y el mar le dió la razón.
Como un ahogado que hablaba de amor y el mar le dió la razón.
Y estamos en el mar y en el fondo esta loco
Ya nunca me hablarás como cuando estaba loco.
Nos colgamos de las ramas tu y yo esperando ser fruta y acabamos siendo ahorcados.
En la radio no se para de escuchar: el amor de mi vida me mandará a la mierda.
Y estamos en el mar y en el fondo esta loco
Ya nunca me hablarás como cuando estaba loco.
The song “En el Fondo Está Bien” by La Costa Brava starts off with the lyrics that depict a moment of vulnerability and intimacy between two people in a room, with their metaphorical wings spread apart. Despite the momentary beauty, there is still an unspent kiss, which is highlighted by the line, “Quedaba un beso por gastar y ese día no recibí visitas.”
The next set of lyrics compare the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotions to that of a drowning person, who finally finds validation in the sea. The repetition of the line, “Como un ahogado que hablaba de amor y el mar le dió la razón,” adds to the intensity and reinforces the idea of finding solace in the sea.
The rest of the lyrics paint a picture of despair and regret, as the singer talks about their unfulfilled life and the truth that they were never truly happy. The imagery of hanging from a tree branch and being turned into fruit only to be hanged again, depicts the futility of life and how easily it can turn into a cyclical pattern of disappointment. The chorus repeats with a slightly altered ending, stating that they are in the sea and in the depths of their being, they are crazy. The song fades with a final resignation that the person they once knew is gone and they will never talk to them again.
