Aullidos
Martín Pescador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No me interesa escucharme
La calle se enciende y roba toda mi atención
La casa ya no está
Se derrumbó con los años
Fantasmas extrañan su hogar
Y voy a reparar nuestra historia
Abrazos de verdad
[?] en las esquinas
El tiempo se desvanece y nunca volverá
Arriba quema un dios
Lento se va consumiendo
Al ritmo de nuestro corazón
Dejame escuchar los sonidos de los hombres
Y voy a reparar nuestra historia
Voy a descifrar
Los sonidos de los hombres
Y no descansaré ni un instante
The lyrics to Martín Pescador's song Aullidos speak to feelings of displacement, nostalgia, and a desire to connect with others. The singer describes walking without talking, uninterested in hearing themselves speak. The attention is drawn to the street, it 'lights up' and steals their focus, which could be seen as a metaphor for the distractions of modern life. They then lament the loss of their home, saying it has crumbled with age, and its ghosts now miss the place.
The singer then asks to be allowed to listen to the sounds of people and in doing so, will be able to repair their own history. The next stanza speaks of hugs and kisses on street corners, implies the passing of time that can never be regained, and ends on an image of a god burning slowly, at the rhythm of our collective pulse. The final injunction is that they will decipher the sounds of people and never rest until they have done so. The song touches on themes of isolation, longing, and a desire to connect, especially in the context of loss, both personal and collective.
