Uno Más
Leize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aprendió lecciones sobre urbanidad.
Uno más con el trauma de competir,
Que se convierte, poco a poco, en su obsesión.
Los comienzos fueron duros para él:
Aquellos años de colegio marcaron su ser.
Día tras día frente al nuevo Dios,
Hasta que suena la señal
La foto de aquél señor,
La Cruz y la sumisión,
Eran algo más que insinuación
Ente educativo,
Danos algo nuevo.
Demasiadas lagunas para educar.
Sobra castigo escolar.
Por papeles firmados,
Aguantar: esos miedos que marcan
La personalidad.
En el salón de su casa.
Colgará el cartel como un orgullo familiar
Ya cumplió las normas ¡consiguió titulación!
Preparado para un exámen no importaba más
Ahora la cosa sin competencia en la vida.
Se siente perdido, en la lucha diaria
En la calle.
Sufriendo muchas veces
Va caminando muy mal.
Desecha el reciclaje
Va caminando muy mal
The song "Uno Mas" by Leize talks about a person who has always felt a lack of freedom and has learned lessons on how to behave in society. However, the person is also plagued by the trauma of competition, which slowly turns into an obsession. The lyrics describe how the person had a difficult time during their school years and was constantly in front of a new "God", until the bell rang and they were free. The person then reflects on the education system and how it has too many gaps and a surplus of punishment.
The song then goes on to describe how the person obeyed the rules, got a degree, and prepared for an exam. However, once they were done with their studies, they felt lost in their daily struggles and suffered frequently while walking down the street. The person feels like they have been discarded like recycling and are barely getting by. The lyrics in "Uno mas" paint a picture of a person who has followed the rules set by society but still feels lost as they navigate their life.
