No Quiero Ser
Melocos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No quiero ser ese alguien
Aquel que un día fué
No quiero ser sólo llamadas
O cartas en papel
No quiero ser un juguete
Quiero encontrar un hueco
En tu corazón
Ser... lo que nunca fui
Ser... para ti
No quiero más excusas
Para poderte ver
No quiero más palabras
Que hablen sin saber
Tú tan sólamente escucha
Esta frase es para ti
Quiero que estés cerca
Sólo junto a mí
No quiero ser muchas cosas
Que ojalá pudiera decir
Y canto porque no soy capaz
De hablar contigo de ti
Sigo sin saber quererte
Y no encuentro una razón
Quiero con tus besos
Sentirte... en mi habitación
Ser... lo que nunca fui
Ser... para ti
The lyrics to Melocos's song No Quiero Ser express the desire to be more than just a memory or a fleeting presence in someone's life. The singer is tired of being someone's disposable toy, someone who is just a source of temporary amusement or convenience. Instead, they long for a deeper connection, and they want to find a place in the other person's heart. They want to be someone special, someone who is valued and cherished for who they are.
The repetition of the phrase "No quiero ser" (I don't want to be) emphasizes the singer's frustration and longing. They know what they don't want, but they're not sure how to get what they do want. The lyrics also suggest a sense of vulnerability and insecurity, as the singer admits they don't know how to love the other person properly, and they're not sure if the other person feels the same way.
Overall, the song captures the universal experience of wanting to be loved and accepted for who we are, rather than just for what we can offer. It speaks to the heart's desire for connection and intimacy, and the fear of being rejected or forgotten.
