mariposas
Loquero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te cagarías como un pato
Llena de bichos una aguja nos picó
Y parece que no fue tan malo
Busqué la fórmula del farmaco y de dios
Son mis amigos y me entienden
Como las mariposas vivo dos horas hoy
Madame buterfly, Madame buterfly
Volver volver al mar a contemplar como se ahogan unos sueños
Envejecer tocando la misma canción de la muerte que camina lento
Madame buterfly, Madame buterfly
Y la alegría fue ganando su lugar
Entre las viejas rimas de mi abuela
Y yo las grito a todos con mi mala voz
Con mis borracheras y mis malas ideas
The song "Mariposas" by Loquero talks about a past experience that the singer had with an unnamed person. They say that if they were to recount the incident, the other party would be shocked. They then go on to say that they were once bitten by a bug on a needle, but it wasn't as bad as it seems. As they search for the formula for a drug and God, they find solace in their friends who understand them. The song then takes a dark turn, as the singer mentions that they, like butterflies, live for only two hours before they cease to exist. Madame Butterfly is mentioned as a symbol of this mortality. The song ends with the singer talking about finding joy among the elderly rhymes of their grandmother, and how they scream these rhymes with their bad voice and bad ideas.
The song has a melancholic tone, and the lyrics focus on mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The comparison of humans to butterflies highlights the ephemeral nature of existence. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea of life's meaning and the potential for a higher power or cure for the hardships we face.
