Verte caer
Manguala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La noche en vilo para no dejar
De pensar en mi plan maestro
Lápiz y hojas cerca para que
No se me escape ninguna idea
Una pistola abajo de mi almohada
Por si vos llegás a mi primero
Lo que he hecho para verte caer
Sobretodo y sombrero negros
Para no ser visto en la noche
Dominar mi biología cuando
Un estornudo puede ser fatal
Y clavada en mi pared la prueba
De que me traicionaste
Lo que he hecho para verte caer

Es que mi amor somos distintos vos y yo
Yo no soy bueno para olvidar el dolor
Sólo un final puede tener nuestra historia
Y es que yo esté para verte caer

El suspiro de tu piel tan blanca
Pero llena de bacterias
Hundiendo colmillos en tu carne
Y vos que ni cuenta te das
El universo una orquesta para
El que canta profecías de lo recto
Lo que he hecho para verte caer

Es que mi amor somos distintos vos y yo
Yo no soy bueno para olvidar el dolor
Sólo un final puede tener nuestra historia
Y es que yo esté para verte caer

Cuando me visto, me visto para vos
Cuando me peino...




Cuando camino, camino hacia vos
Cuando respiro, respiro sobre vos

Overall Meaning

The song "Verte Caer" by Manguala is a dark and brooding confession of a man who is consumed by thoughts of revenge. In the first verse, he describes how he spends sleepless nights, meticulously planning his "master plan" to make the person he hates fall. He keeps a gun under his pillow, prepared to take action if necessary. He portrays himself as a mastermind, constantly jotting down ideas so that no possibility is overlooked. He lives in fear of the other person, who he imagines might get to him first.


In the second verse, he reveals that he takes extraordinary measures to avoid being seen. He dresses entirely in black and wears a hat to blend into the shadows. He is paranoid about catching cold, since even a sneeze might give away his location. He has a trophy on his wall to remind him of the betrayal he suffered at the other person's hands. He claims that everything he has done has been to bring about the other person's downfall.


In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that he and the object of his revenge are very different. He knows that he can't forget the pain he has suffered, and that their story can only end in one way - with him watching as the other person falls. In the final verse, he talks about how his every action is oriented towards the other person. He dresses, walks, and breathes with the sole intention of being close to them.


This is certainly a chilling song that delves into the psyche of a deeply disturbed individual. It's fascinating to examine the twisted logic behind the singer's actions and try to understand what could have led him down this path.
