La Costa Brava Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que tus tragos son eternos y no volverás a casa.
Salgo por sorpresa a buscar comienzos nuevos y las sombras de tus
Copas se derraman en mis senos y salgo con un chico que siempre
Espera en la mesa pero quiere que me maten si no cumplo mis promesas
Quiero decir seguimos siendo novios hoy quiero decir que tu estas
Loco y no lo sabes quiero decir seguimos siendo
Novios hoy quiero decir que eso es asi y no lo sabes
Si tienes que perderme quiero ser tu menos buena
Vendré desde mas lejos con mi estrella en la
Remera si me dices al oído que voy a ser tu primera
Quiero decir seguimos siendo novios hoy
Quiero decir que tu estas loco y no lo sabes
Voy a venir con mi estrella en la remera
Voy a venir con mi estrella en la remera
Es para ti pero no la des a cualquiera.
The lyrics of La Costa Brava's song Te Cambio por un Mundo Donde No Valga la Pena paint a picture of a troubled relationship where one person is being told by the waitresses that they are useless and won't make it home due to their endless drinking. The other person, the singer of the song, decides to leave and start fresh with someone new. As they exit, the shadows of the other person's drink spills onto their chest. They meet someone new who always waits at the table, but who threatens to kill the singer if they don't keep their promises. Despite this, the singer says that they are still together but also acknowledges that the other person is crazy and doesn't realize it.
The second half of the song reveals the singer's desire to leave the relationship entirely. They want to be the other person's least important thing if they have to lose them, and they plan to come back from afar with their star on their shirt if the other person promises that they will be their first. The singer wants to leave the world where the relationship is worth it and go somewhere where it isn't, a place where they can be free from the toxic cycle they are in. The final line, "it's for you, but don't give it to just anyone," could be interpreted in many ways, but most likely suggests that the singer has a gift, symbolized by the star on their shirt, that they want to give to the other person, but only if they are worthy of it.
Overall, the song touches on the complexities of relationships and how difficult it can be to break away from them, even when they are harmful. It suggests a desire to find a place where love isn't painful and where people can be themselves without fear.
