Kerosene
Ludovico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vivo exhausto de placer
Otra vez
Mientras bailo
En un charco de sangre
Otra vez
Caen desmembrándose
Otra vez
Otra vez
Y todos estarán secos
Carcomidos frente a el
Y uno dominara el fuego
A voluntad de el
Ya nadie puede escapar
Vivo de esta ciudad
Contemplaremos nuestro mismo holocausto frente a el
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
Transpiro Kerosene
The lyrics to Ludovico's song Kerosene are a reflection of intense emotion and are open to interpretation. The first three lines of the song describe the feeling of being alive with pleasure but exhausted at the same time, while the next two lines talk about the singer dancing in a pool of blood. The following lines talk about buildings and souls falling apart and burning when they see the singer, and how they will all be consumed by fire. The final lines describe the singer sweating or transpiring kerosene.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it speaks to the destructive and seductive power of human desire. Kerosene, a highly flammable liquid, could represent the desire or passion that consumes the singer from within. The imagery of destruction and chaos could be a metaphor for the consequences that such desires can have on society and the world at large. The line "Ya nadie puede escapar" (Nobody can escape) could symbolize the inevitability of human desire and how it can destroy everything in its path if left unchecked.
In conclusion, the song Kerosene by Ludovico is a passionate and intense reflection on human desire and its ability to consume and destroy. The lyrics are highly symbolic, and the song can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener's perspective.
