Rompecabezas
Los Concorde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y lo que no dejamos ser
Tratamos de taparlo con un dedo
Y todo lo que nunca fue
Y lo que no dejamos ser
Tratamos de taparlo con un dedo
No tiene caso esperar
Nunca pensé en consecuencias
Ya no vuelve a pasar,
Ya no soporto los domingos
Son lo mismo son lo mismo,
Es una telenovela que no quiero mirar.
¡ay complot de mujer
Y lo encubre tu piel
Eres criminal y delator a la vez
Tratamos de taparlo con un dedo!
Y sigue todo igual
Sigue lento sigue frío
Sigue sin parecer tener algo divino
Es un rompecabezas de miles de piezas
Que ya no quiero armar ya no pretendo armar, no.
Y cuando pude estar seguro
De que sería yo ninguno
Volaste como arena con el viento
Trataste de taparlo con un dedo
¡ay complot de mujer
Y lo encubre tu piel
Eres criminal y delator a la vez
Tratamos de taparlo con un dedo!
El complot de tu piel y tu forma de ser
Cometen ese crimen que se llama mujer
Y siempre lo tapamos con un dedo.
Ay complot de tu piel y tu forma de ser cometen ese crimen que se llama mujer
Y siempre lo tapamos con un dedo.
(por último y al mismo tiempo…)
Y sin embargo vuelvo a empezar
No tiene caso esperar
Nunca pensé en consecuencias
Ya no vuelve a pasar,
Ya no soporto los domingos
Son lo mismo son lo mismo,
Es una telenovela que no quiero mirar.
¡ay complot de mujer
Y lo encubre tu piel
Eres criminal y delator a la vez
Tratamos de taparlo con un dedo!
Los Concorde's song "Rompecabezas" is a reflective ballad about the ways in which we often try to hide or ignore our problems rather than face them head-on. The lyrics describe a situation in which the singer and their partner are struggling with a variety of issues, both past and present. They try to ignore these problems, "tratamos de taparlo con un dedo," but eventually realize that they cannot continue to do so. The line "Es un rompecabezas de miles de piezas que ya no quiero armar, ya no pretendo armar, no" captures the sense of frustration and overwhelm that comes with trying to solve a problem that seems too large or complex.
Throughout the song, the singer is grappling with conflicting emotions - on the one hand, they are deeply unhappy with the situation and want to move on, but on the other hand they can't seem to let go. This is evident in lines like "Y sin embargo vuelvo a empezar, no tiene caso esperar" - they know that things aren't working out, but they keep going back to the same patterns again and again. The song reaches its climax with the repeated refrain "Ay complot de mujer y lo encubre tu piel" - the sense that the singer's partner is somehow hiding something or keeping secrets from them.
Overall, "Rompecabezas" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships and the challenges of facing difficult truths. It encourages the listener to be honest with themselves and to confront their problems head-on rather than trying to ignore or suppress them.
