Kaleidoscópio
La Gusana Ciega Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No me importa que se hayan ido,
y no tenga con quien jugar
que se hayan llevado la luz consigo
y no la quieran prestar.

Ahora tengo un cuarto oscuro
donde nadie puede entrar.
Proyecto sueños en el techo

con un viejo cristal.

Mi Kaleidoscopio,
es un circo astral,

manicomio interno donde,
yo puedo jugar.

Overall Meaning

In La Gusana Ciega's song "Kaleidoscopio," the singer speaks about not being bothered that the people they used to play with have left them, and how they do not care that these people have taken the light with them and do not want to share. The singer now has a dark room where no one can enter, and they project dreams onto the ceiling with an old piece of glass. The use of the kaleidoscope is a metaphor for the singer's imaginative escape from reality.

The song conveys a sense of solitude and the desire for an internal world that is free from the constraints of reality. The use of the word "proyecto" (project) and "cristal" (glass) emphasizes the idea of building and creating a world that is unique to the individual. The line "Mi kaleidoscopio, es un circo astral" (My kaleidoscope, is an astral circus) showcases this aspect of the song, as the singer's inner world is portrayed as a whimsical and magical circus. Additionally, the use of the word "manicomio" (madhouse) in the line "manicomio interno donde yo puedo jugar" (internal madhouse where I can play) adds a sense of unpredictability and playfulness to the song.
