Buscando Cuadros
Los Bunkers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Buscando cuadros, viendo cartas
Slo busco como pensar
Mantel blanco slo puede
Sostener su respiracin
Sortear mi ansiedad
Sillas malas sostienen mi cuerpo
Que ya no puede mas
Y mi cabeza se estrella
Que ya no puede pensar
Sortear mi ansiedad
Piensa, piensa
Cmo podr respirar?




Oyendo el murmullo sobre mi cabeza
Sortear mi ansiedad

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Los Bunkers's song 'Buscando Cuadros' ("Looking for paintings, seeing letters, I only search for how to think") convey a sense of confusion and disorientation. The singer of the song is trying to make sense of their surroundings, seeking some kind of clarity amidst the chaos. They feel overwhelmed by their own anxiety and are struggling to find a way to breathe. The mention of a "white tablecloth" suggests a formal setting, perhaps a dinner party or a meeting, but the singer's thoughts are elsewhere. They are so consumed by their own inner turmoil that they can barely hold themselves up in the uncomfortable chairs they are sitting in.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly desperate to find some kind of resolution. They repeat the phrase "sortear mi ansiedad" ("overcome my anxiety") twice, as if trying to convince themselves that they are capable of doing so. The murmurs that they hear above them seem to reference the conversations and social interactions happening around them, yet the singer is unable to engage with any of it. Their mind is consumed by their own battle with anxiety, and they are unable to break free from its grip. The final line of the song, "Sortear mi ansiedad" is repeated once more, suggesting that the singer is still struggling with their anxiety despite their best efforts to overcome it.
