Atardecer
Matraz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siento mi corazón en la dulzura
Fundirse como ceras:
Son un óleo tardo
Y no un vino mis venas,
Y siento que mi vida se va huyendo
Callada y dulce como la gacela.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Atardecer by Matraz exude a sense of introspection and contemplation. The singer describes feeling a melting sensation in their heart akin to that of wax, as opposed to the supposed intoxicating feeling of wine. This indicates a certain level of detachment or perhaps even resignation, as though the singer is tired of chasing superficial pleasures and is content to exist in a state of emotional equilibrium. The comparison to a gacela, which is a type of antelope, also suggests a sense of fragility and grace.


Furthermore, the use of the phrase "mi vida se va huyendo" (my life is fleeing) implies a sense of impermanence, of time slipping away. It is unclear whether this is something the singer welcomes or not as they seem to embrace the melancholic mood of the song. Perhaps they are reminding themselves to savor the present moment and appreciate the beauty in subtle things. The overall vibe is one of peaceful resignation, even as the accompanying melody is haunting and evocative.

Melting like wax:


Son un óleo tardo
They are a slow oil


Y no un vino mis venas,

Quiet and sweet like a gazelle.
