El Ritmo del Silencio
Los Mustang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contigo quiero conversar.
Poco importa ya lo que yo vi
mas siempre estará dentro de mi.
Una extraña pesadilla con la luz de neón,
Y el ritmo del silencio.
En mis inquietos sueños vi
Caminaba gente por allí
Caminaba sin buscar un fin.
Y de pronto, vi una luz en la calle que me cegó.
En medio del silencio,
Y junto aquella fuerte luz,
La gente hablaba sin hablar,
La gente sin cantar también cantó.
Algo que yo nunca comprendí,
Porque aquella gente jamás llegaría a perturbar
El ritmo del silencio.
Yo les dije y les grité
El silencio nacerá,
Y podrá llegar un día que
De vosotros se adueñará.
Pero no prestaron atención
Siguieron en silencio.
Y la gente se inclinó
Adorando aquella luz,
Nada se podía escuchar,
Ni a lo lejos el rumor del mar,
Porque a todos en mi sueño
Vi buscar sin hallar el ritmo del silencio.
The song "El Ritmo del Silencio" by Los Mustang describes a conversation with an old friend, darkness. The singer shares their experience with a strange nightmare, where they saw immense streets without an end, and people walking aimlessly. Suddenly, the singer is blinded by a bright light in the street, where people started to talk without words and sing without singing. The singer couldn't comprehend how the people could never disturb the rhythm of silence. When the singer tried to tell them that silence would prevail one day, people ignored and continued in silence. In the end, the singer sees everyone worshipping the light, and no one could hear any sound, not even the sound of the sea in the distance. The people keep searching for the rhythm of silence but never find it.
The lyrics portray the singer's thoughts and emotions about the world around him/her, which he/she finds perplexing and unable to understand. The song's mood is surreal and eerie, with a blend of melancholy and confusion that the singer is experiencing. The song's message portrays everyone's search for something that they might never find, yet they keep searching relentlessly.
