Llegaste Al Final
Los Pericos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ilumina el caminar una versión más real
Que hace mucho que espera
Que es solo la verdad así todo fue
Desde un principio a fin la rueda sin parar
Y es la sensación
De que llega a su fin y fuera
Llegaste al final ya no volves más
Y lo pasado es real aunque se que nos lleva
De a poco a no mirar imposible ocultar
La energía que lleva y vuelta a comenzar
Un abrir y cerrar sin demora en la entrega
Y el cambio ahí esta no creía ordenar
Lo que ayer pareciera un acto sin pensar
Llegaste al final ya no volves más
No quieras comprender no lo busques
Tan solo recordé que todo era lejano
Un cambio al parecer y el día que se va
La vida se te va llegaste al final
Ya no volves más no quieras comprender
No lo busques llegaste al final
Ya no volves más no quieras comprender
No lo busques llegaste al final
Ya no volves más no quieras comprender
No lo busques
The lyrics of "Llegaste Al Final" by Los Pericos describe a sense of closure and acceptance.

It signifies a long-awaited truth that has finally arrived, and the feeling that everything has come full circle. The wheel keeps turning, signifying the constant cycle of life, and there is a sensation of reaching the end, letting go, and moving forward.
The lyrics imply a sense of finality and the understanding that there is no going back. The song suggests not trying to comprehend or search for explanations, as the past is real and has shaped who we are. It speaks about gradually moving away from looking back and the impossibility of hiding the energy that drives us. There is a sense of constant change and renewal, with the opening and closing of chapters, and the willingness to embrace these transformations.
