Cada cosa en su lugar
Los Peces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy... Caminando en mi nube,
El frío me parte en dos.
Hay... una ola que sube,
Ahoga también mi voz.

Tal vez la luz sin color del patio interior
El canto que me cantas y en el despertador.
Tal vez que no este aquí, delante de mi.
Es extraño que hace un año no pensaba en ti.
La radio y el radiador,
La luna y el sol,
Esta tarde no trabajan bajan por depresión...
Tal vez me quieran decir que terminó mal el cuento.

Tal vez no, que más da perdimos el sentido de la realidad,
Y ahora se que es verdad el tiempo pone cada cosa en su lugar...

Hay tantas cosas que hacer que no voy hacer,
El presente es el futuro que inventé antes de ayer.
Cuando lo siento venir me pongo a dormir,
Tripulante de un instante que no tiene fin.
Que diferente, miro a la gente, su universo tan diverso tan cerca de aquí
Tal vez me pongo a cantar un river or let it be,
Nadie dijo que esto iba a durar...
Pensamos lo mismo la cosa no da para mas
Tal vez echo de menos tu voz o tal vez el sol se despierte y empiece a brillar

Tal vez no, que más da perdimos el sentido de la realidad
Y ahora se que es verdad el tiempo pone cada cosa en su lugar...

Dónde estoy?
Dónde estás?
Espero que la vida no te trate mal...
Mientras yo, sigo igual,
Juntando los pedazos of my broken heart!





(Gracias a Ainara por esta letra)

Overall Meaning

The song "Cada cosa en su lugar" by Los Peces is about the confusion, uncertainty and pain that comes with separation or ending of a relationship. The lyrics describe the singer who is walking around in a daze, feeling split in half by the coldness of the world around them. The wave that rises symbolizes the overwhelming sadness and sense of drowning that the character experiences. The first verse references a lack of color and sound (symbolizing depression) and the act of waking up to an alarm clock, suggesting that the character is struggling to get out of bed and face the day. The second verse mentions everyday objects (radio, radiator) that the character uses to fill their time, but even these do not seem to be working properly. The frustration culminates in the realization that something has gone wrong and that the story has come to an end.


The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that time will set things right and that the character will be able to move on. The third verse touches on the feeling of being stuck in the present and not being able to move forward. The character sees the world around them as diverse and fascinating, but they remain trapped in their own thoughts and memories. They sing about missing the other person, but also acknowledge that things have to change and that the relationship cannot continue. They hope that the other person is doing well, but at the same time, they are trying to pick up the pieces of their own broken heart.


Overall, "Cada cosa en su lugar" is a song that captures the pain and uncertainty of a relationship that has ended. The singer is lost in their own thoughts and is struggling to make sense of the world around them, but ultimately, they understand that time will heal their pain and that they will be able to move on.
