Flan del rock
La Tabaré Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guitarra a la deriva,
Por la ciudad Ando desafinando
Por los costados
Será que estoy cansado,
Me bajo acá Permitanme,
Yo me retiro
Tiro la toalla,
Y que me vaya decepcionado
Será que estoy cansado, les digo chau
No entendieron, no entendiste,
Nunca entenderé
Alguien dijo que dijiste que yo dije que
Enculé, flan del rock
El arte está hirviendo,
De rabia a presión
Y yo me estoy yendo
Porque aquella canción
Se quedó en casa
Me equivoqué,
La culpa es mía
Creía en la utopía
Del rock and roll
Me voy sin más expectativas
Dije que ya me iba,
Pero aquí estoy
Que el sonido,
Que las luces,
Que preproducción
Que profesionales,
¿Cuánto vale el hit del show?
Vendidos, flan del rock
El mundo esta hirviendo,
De rabia a presión
Y yo me estoy yendo
Porque mi corazón
Se quedó en casa
The lyrics to La Tabaré's song Flan del Rock tell the story of a disillusioned artist who feels disconnected from the music industry they work in. The line "yo ya me iba" (I'm leaving now) sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer describes their journey as a wandering guitarist roaming the city, feeling lost and out of place. The use of dissonant sounds in the guitar and off-key singing further emphasizes the feeling of disconnection and unease. The singer seems to be trying to find something, but is constantly being pulled in different directions, wondering if they are just tired or if they have lost their passion. They announce that they are leaving, but then question the cost of the show and the value of being a professional musician.
As the song progresses, the artist becomes increasingly frustrated with the state of the music industry, stating that it is boiling over with rage and pressure. The imagery of boiling art suggests that the creativity and emotion that drives music is being stifled by the commercialization of the industry. The singer then acknowledges their own mistake in believing in the utopia of rock and roll, admitting that they are leaving with no expectations. The final line, "porque mi corazón se quedó en casa" (because my heart is still at home), suggests that the artist is leaving because they no longer feel connected to the heart of the music they love.
