Eso Es Real
Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
paso el tiempo why ahora me siento mejor,
Cuando puedo nada quiero dejar pasar,
lo pasado ahÌ queda, no vuelvo a mirar.
Oh no, ya no te extraño
si estas lejos de mi.
Real... uoo uou
Real... uoo uou
Real... uoo uou
Las palabras se fueron al viento why lo se,
no fue todo tan facil como yo pense
hubo dÌas en que ya no quise ni hablar
ya no hay nada ni nadie que te quiera atar.
Oh no, ya no te extraño
si estas lejos de mi.
Oh no, yo no te hice daño
why te alejaste de mi.
Real... uoo uou
Real... uoo uou
Real... uoo uou
Real... uoo uou
why cuando todo se ha oxidado en tu corazon
no hay remedio que te calme ese dolor,
paso el tiempo why ahora entiendo lo que perdi
novedades hoy no encuentro para mi.
Los Pericos's song "Eso Es Real" is an introspective song about moving on and letting go of the past. The singer of the song has been thinking about the person they used to be with, but they feel that time has helped them heal and they no longer miss them. The lyrics emphasize the importance of living in the present and not dwelling on what has already happened. The chorus of "Real... uoo uou" suggests that the singer has come to a realization of what is truly important in their life.
The second verse of the song reflects on the difficulties in moving on from a past relationship. The singer admits that it wasn't as easy as they thought, and there were days when they didn't want to talk about it anymore. However, they also acknowledge that there is nothing left to tie them to that person, and they have let go of any attachment. The lyrics highlight the emotional struggle of ending a relationship and the importance of giving yourself time to heal.
The final verse of the song speaks to the pain that can come with a broken heart. The singer acknowledges that when your heart has been hurt, there is nothing that can really fix it. The past cannot be changed, but the passage of time can bring clarity and a deeper understanding of what has been lost. The song ends on a somewhat melancholic note, with the line "novedades hoy no encuentro para mi" which translates to "today I find no news for me," which implies that the singer is still searching for something in their life.
Overall, the song "Eso Es Real" is a poignant reflection on the aftermath of a relationship and the process of moving on. The lyrics emphasize the importance of coming to terms with the past and living in the present.
