Carmen
Marcos Luc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
EL LABERINTO
EN QUE ME HUNDO
VOY SIN LUZ, MEDITABUNDO
VOY A BUSCANDO UNA SEÑAL
PERO ELLA ILUMINA ESPEJISMOS
Y YO CAIGO EN OTRO ABISMO
DONDE ESTÁ SU SOLEDAD
CARMEN, TAN SINCERA
TAN LEJANA Y COMPAÑERA
ME RECIBE EN SUS CADERAS
PERO NO EN SU CORAZÓN
ME CONFIESA SUS AMORES PASAJEROS
Y YO ASIENTO COMO UN REO
PERO SOY UN CANTAUTOR
A CARMEN
INTENTO ACERCARME
PERO ELLA ESTÁ MEJOR
TRAS EL CRISTAL
LA ACTRIZ NO QUIERE HABLAR
Y HABLA CARMEN
QUE DICE AL DESNUDARME
ESTAMOS SOLOS VOS Y YO
SOLOS COMO UN DIOS
Y VUELVE A DEJARME
CARMEN ES TRAMPOSA
VA DE FRÍA A CARIÑOSA
SON SUS SÁBANAS BRUMOSAS
NO ME DEJAN VISLUMBRAR
CUÁL SERÁ EL CAMINO
QUE ME LLEVE A ELLA
TRAS EL VELO DE LA ESTRELLA
MÁS ALLÁ DE SU DISFRAZ
CARMEN HECHICERA
SE DEFINE PASAJERA
TIENE UN ALMA PRISIONERA
ENVUELTA EN SU CAPARAZÓN
SUS DOS PIERNAS
BATEN ALAS COMO UN AVE
PERO YA PERDIÓ LAS LLAVES
PARA ABRIR SU CORAZÓN
These lyrics from Marcos Luc's song "Carmen" paint a vivid picture of a complex relationship with a woman named Carmen. The first verse sets the tone by describing Carmen as a world, a labyrinth in which the singer feels lost and without light. He searches for a sign but Carmen only illuminates illusions, causing him to fall into another abyss where she resides in solitude. This suggests that Carmen may be distant and elusive, incapable of providing the connection and guidance the singer seeks.
In the second paragraph, Carmen is portrayed as sincere but distant and only welcoming the singer into her physicality, not into her heart. She confesses her fleeting affairs and the singer accepts this truth, feeling like a prisoner as he listens to her stories. This highlights the singer's role as a singer-songwriter who observes and reflects these experiences.
The third paragraph is a desperate attempt by the singer to get closer to Carmen, but she seems to be in a better place behind her own protective barrier. The imagery of the glass suggests that Carmen is unreachable, like an actress who refuses to engage with the audience. The singer longs for a genuine connection, but Carmen keeps pushing him away.
In the final paragraph, Carmen is described as deceptive and elusive. She alternates between being cold and affectionate, making it difficult for the singer to understand her true intentions and desires. Her mysterious allure is like misty bed sheets, preventing the singer from gaining clarity on the path that leads to her. Carmen is portrayed as a captivating enchantress with a captive soul, trapped in her own shell, making it impossible for anyone to access her true emotions. Despite her charms, she seems to have lost the ability to open her heart to others.
Overall, these lyrics depict a complex and tumultuous relationship with Carmen, a woman who remains distant and mysterious. The singer yearns for a deeper connection, but Carmen's enigmatic nature and tendency to shield herself prevent the singer from truly understanding and reaching her.

Beyond the veil of the star

Beyond her disguise
CARMEN HECHICERA
Carmen, the sorceress
SE DEFINE PASAJERA
She defines herself as transient
TIENE UN ALMA PRISIONERA
She has a imprisoned soul
ENVUELTA EN SU CAPARAZÓN
Wrapped in her shell
SUS DOS PIERNAS
Her two legs
BATEN ALAS COMO UN AVE
Flutter like a bird
PERO YA PERDIÓ LAS LLAVES
But she has already lost the keys
PARA ABRIR SU CORAZÓN
To open her heart
