Mira
Los De Adentro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mira como va
El tiempo en movimiento
Hilando las agujas al revés
Mira como va
El tiempo en movimiento
Rodando las arenas a mis pies

Y viven como ellos creen
Cambiaron al parecer
Los sueños que van a volver

Mira el mundo no es como se cree
Olvida una y otra vez
La vida no es como la ven
Mira

Siguen pensando igual
Viven del aparentar
Vivimos, crecemos, morimos, igual
Mejor pensar
Las cosas antes de hablar huevon
Una equivocación ahora te puede matar

Vivimos en el mismo lugar
Vivimos en el mismo lugar
Sin poseer libertad…

Mira el mundo no es como se cree
Olvida una y otra vez
La vida no es como la ven
Mira (BIS)

Ah…

Mira el mundo no es como se cree
Olvida una y otra vez




La vida no es como la ven
Mira (BIS x 3)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los De Adentro's song "Mira" present an insightful view of the nature of time and life, and the human tendency to hold onto perceived beliefs and illusions. The first two lines of the song invite the listener to observe the movement of time, symbolized by the image of needles spinning backward and sand rolling at their feet. The repetition of "mira como va" (look how it goes) emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the passing of time and how it affects us.


The following lines express a subtle critique of society's tendency to conform to what is expected or accepted, instead of following one's own dreams and desires. The phrase "y viven como ellos creen" (and they live as they believe) implies that people often adhere to what others expect of them or what they feel is socially acceptable, rather than living in accordance with their own values and aspirations. The mention of "sueños que van a volver" (dreams that will come back) suggests that individuals may suppress their own dreams and desires in order to conform, but that these dreams may resurface at some point.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that the world is not always what it seems, and that life should be lived with a critical eye and an open mind. The phrase "la vida no es como la ven" (life is not as they see it) encourages people to question their perceptions and look beyond appearances. The cautionary line "una equivocación ahora te puede matar" (one mistake now can kill you) reinforces the importance of paying attention to one's actions and decisions.
