I.p.o.s.t.e.l.
La Vida Bohème Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caras rotas que sueñan con rosas
Que no llegan a nacer
Cartas bombas que explotan tan sordas
Soñando poder, poder

Poder, poder, poder, poder, poder!

Nuestro arte, nuestra arma
Olvida todo lo que aprendiste y vuelve a aprender
Para olvidar otra vez

Admira el reverso de tus pupilas
Siendo cortinas al sol
Abre los ojos y mira al cañón

Permíteme ilustrarte en el tema
Cariño, el fusil nos espera
25 pasos antes de morir
No te culpo, ignorante

Nuestro arte, nuestra arma
Olvida todo lo que aprendiste y vuelve a aprender
Para olvidar otra vez

Admira el reverso de tus pupilas
Siendo cortinas al sol
Abre los ojos y mira al cañón

Permíteme ilustrarte en el tema
Cariño, el fusil nos espera




25 pasos antes de morir
No te culpo, ignorante

Overall Meaning

The song "I.p.o.s.t.e.l." by La Vida Bohème talks about the struggle of people who dream of a better life but are prevented from achieving it due to the oppressive societal conditions. The first lines, "Caras rotas que sueñan con rosas, que no llegan a nacer" (Broken faces that dream of roses that never bloom) depict the hopelessness and despair that people feel when their dreams are constantly crushed. They dream of a better life but are denied the opportunity to live it.


The second verse talks about the power play in society, where those in power use their position to oppress others. "Cartas bombas que explotan tan sordas, soñando poder, poder" (Bomb letters that explode silently, dreaming of power, power) symbolizes the use of violence and terrorism to attain power. The repetition of "poder" (power) throughout the song reinforces this idea of power play and the desperation to attain it.


The song's chorus, "Nuestro arte, nuestra arma, olvida todo lo que aprendiste y vuelve a aprender, para olvidar otra vez" (Our art, our weapon, forget everything you learned and learn again, to forget again), encourages people to learn from their past experiences and use art as a tool to fight oppression. The lyrics "Abre los ojos y mira al cañón, permíteme ilustrarte en el tema" (Open your eyes and look at the gun, let me illustrate the theme for you) depict the harsh reality of violence in society and the importance of being aware of it.


Overall, "I.p.o.s.t.e.l." is a powerful song that speaks out against societal oppression and encourages people to fight it using art as a tool.
