Que se puede hacer salvo ver peliculas
La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ella es una actriz
Se seca y mira el mar
Se viste de plata
Nadie la viene a buscar

No espera que toquen el timbre
Se monta en su convertible
Y se va, ya verán

Que se puede hacer salvo ver películas
Sueño con la actriz
Que se seca y mira el mar

Mi corazón es de ella
Mi mente esta en las estrellas

Sobre la T.V. Se duermen mis dos gatos
Salgo a caminar para matar el rato
Y de pronto yo la veo entre los autos
Justo cuando la luz roja cierra el paso

Me acercaré al convertible
Le diré quiero ser libre,
Llévame por favor




Que se puede hacer cuando las estrellas caen
Que se puede hacer salvo ver películas.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Que se puede hacer salvo ver peliculas" by La Maquina De Hacer Pajaros describe a woman who is an actress and seems to be experiencing loneliness and alienation from the world around her. She looks out at the sea, dresses in silver, and no one seems to come and visit her. The singer of the song is in love with her and describes his heart being hers, while his mind is in the stars. His cats sleep on the TV while he goes out for a walk to pass the time. While out walking, he sees her driving her convertible in traffic and he decides to approach her and ask her to take him with her.


The song seems to be about the desire for connection and escaping from mundane life through the fantasy world of movies. The woman in the song may represent the unattainable ideal of perfection that people strive for, both in terms of their own lives and through the escapism of film. The singer's love for the actress and desire to escape with her symbolizes the longing for something beyond the everyday.


Overall, the lyrics of "Que se puede hacer salvo ver peliculas" suggest a sense of isolation and yearning for something more, and the escapism of movies serves as a temporary relief from those feelings. The woman's aloofness and the singer's infatuation with her highlight the struggle to connect with others and the search for meaning and purpose in a world that can feel empty and disconnected.
