Asfalto
Los Pixel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como esperando que venga un tren
Estás ahí como alucinada
La verdad yo no se que hacer
Con todas mis pretensiones
A un paso de la estación
Tengo asfalto en mis zapatos
Tengo asfalto en mis zapatos
Demasiada calle por hoy
Estás ahí como como estacionada
Como esperando que venga un tren
Se va el día, no pasa nada
La verdad qué se le va a hacer!
Y sintonizo una nueva emoción
A pesar de la comparación
Cómo brilla la luz para nada
Es la condición
A un paso de la estación
Tengo asfalto en mis zapatos
Demasiada calle por hoy
Tengo asfalto en mis zapatos
Demasiada calle por hoy
Tengo asfalto en mis zapatos
Y tu vas con pies descalzos
De tus ojos la tormenta
Soñando con cenicienta
Con todas las emociones
A punto de ebullición
Tengo asfalto en mis zapatos
Demasiada calle por hoy
The lyrics of Los Pixel's song "Asfalto" depict a scene of stagnation and frustration. The singer describes a woman who is standing still, as if waiting for something to happen. She appears to be lost in thought or possibly even hallucinating. The singer is at a loss as to what to do, despite his intentions to help. He feels that they are both too close to the train station, and it seems they cannot move any further.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Tengo asfalto en mis zapatos" or "I have asphalt on my shoes" to convey a sense of exhaustion or weariness. The singer has been walking on the streets all day and is physically and mentally spent. He is weighed down by the burdens of life, represented by the metaphor of the asphalt.
The lyrics in the second verse suggest that the singer is trying to find a new perspective, despite feeling trapped. He looks for a glimmer of hope, but the new emotion he experiences seems to be contrasted with the shining light that illuminates everything and yet means nothing. At the end of the second verse, the singer repeats that they are now "a step away from the station", emphasizing the feeling of being stuck.
Overall, the lyrics of "Asfalto" convey a feeling of being trapped and weighed down by the struggles of everyday life, but also trying to look for new ways to find hope and meaning.
