Luces
Luceros el Ojo Daltónico Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si he conocido gente viciosa
Billy es el peor que hay
terrateniente de los infiernos
vive del "nunca jamás"

Ese reviente no era una bomba
pero nos hizo explotar
que alguien le diga, lo están buscando

y no lo van a encontrar

Libertinaje, mucha milonga
y alguien que se fue de boca con vos
somos las luces que te iluminan
Viva la revolución!

Las siete puertas del paraíso
que prometimos mentir
siempre se cierran y aunque yo trato
nunca puedo descubrir

Porque en el mundo están los que nacen
para mirarla pasar
mientras el dueño de la pelota
ni un gajo les va a tirar.

Porque vivimos siendo salvajes,
en esta jungla el león mas feroz

tiene chequeras, cuentas en Suiza
y la mirada de Dios...

Overall Meaning

In the song "Luces" by Luceros el Ojo Daltónico, the lyrics talk about the singer's encounter with various types of people who are involved with drugs and vices, specifically highlighting Billy as the worst of them all. The reference to him being a "terrateniente de los infiernos" (landowner of hell) and living off of "nunca jamás" (neverland) suggests a hedonistic and escapist lifestyle. The lyrics then describe a moment when things got out of hand and someone is being searched for but cannot be found.

The next verse talks about the "seven gates of paradise" that were promised to them but have never been opened despite their efforts to find them. It then contrasts those who are born to simply observe the world and those who have power and control, represented by those who have "chequeras, cuentas en Suiza" (checkbooks, Swiss accounts) and "la mirada de Dios" (the gaze of God). However, the final line "somos las luces que te iluminan, Viva la revolución" (we are the lights that illuminate you, long live the revolution) suggests a possible hope or purpose for the wild lifestyle they lead.
